Title: Carb hose help
Post by: Clive on May 10, 2015, 02:03:42 PM
Just started to sort the carb on the XL600, and it has the worlds supply of pipes coming off of it!

Can anyone with a better knowledge of these carbs tell me where, internally, these two pipes come from, please?

They both still vent to air, so can they be capped?

Looking at this parts list I would hazard a guess that they are overflow pipes in case of a stuck float. Think it might be a good idea to have a look for an xl forum and see if there is any info there.

Cheers buddy. Glad to see I'm not the only one who goes straight to CMSNL for diagrams. :D
