Routing for fuel overflow hose

haze5736 · July 7th, 2011, 05:05 PM

Can anyone tell me what the routing is for the fuel overflow hose? It connects to a port between the 2 cards. I think the hose is missing altogether so if anyone could give me an idea of how much hose to buy it would be greatly appreciated. I can't find a diagram in the FSM.
One last thing, what size hose do I need?

I found a parts diagram with a description. Says the hose is 6.5x9.5x500. Can someone tell me what those numbers mean? And can I find that size tubing in most auto part stores?

I think it's saying it's 6.5mm inside diameter, 9.5mm outside diameter, 500mm length.

doubt you will find mm hose at a parts store, so just use some fuel line that will fit the over the vent between the carbs that's about 20".

6.5mm is very close to 1/4". Use some 1/4" fuel line.
