Hi. My wife has a 2003 EX250 and the previous owner had it hit in San Francisco while parked.
Anyways, the tank was pretty beat so I bought a pretty good condition replacement on eBay. I took the old tank off - removed the petcock, fill cap assembly - mounted it back onto the bike and realized it only has 1 hose vs 3. To confirm I have all the CA emissions stuff on the bike and these 2 extra hoses with nowhere to go :]
It ran for like a minute and then sputtered and died. I tried bending the blue striped (to blue dot hose) and that didn't help... and i tried the same for the middle one (obviously with no luck). It also seemed to leak gas toward to top of the gas cap seal (~ 10 o'clock)
I am looking for some insight on how to get the bike to function - I assume it's a vacuum or emissions thing. Ideally if I can cap it off that would be ideal, while retaining the emissions stuff on the bike.
Thanks for the insight.
