Title: Carburetor hose diagram
Post by: Sebh on August 10, 2024, 08:33:35 AM
Hello! I'm trying to get my hoses back on the carburetor, and I can not find a good diagram or video anywhere online. I looked through past threads and it seems bikebandit is out of service now, as the website is not working for me under any circumstances. Any help is appreciated!

A lot of hoses on some of these models, but if it's just the actual fuel lines, here are pictures of my fuel valves, they're marked. Don't know if each year was marked, but worth checking.

On the tank, Mark "O" for ON, short tube; Mark R for Reserve, long tube.

On the Valve under seat left side, Mark "Out" goes to Carbs;
Mark "On" goes to "O" on tank; Mark "Res" goes to "R" on tank.
