Carburettor vent hoses

[JannPedersen]

I've recently bought an old GSX 1100 F (1991) on which some not-so-skilled mechanic has apparently in its past made quite a few bad things!...

I'm about to restore those things now, and I'm quite confident I'll succeed in doing so... 

I have one question, though:

The two vent tubes on the picture (no. 5 and no. 14)...on my bike it's the same tube connected to the two studs.

Is this the way it's meant to be - or is it supposed to be two separate tubes?...

Hi and welcome to OSS.

Please post an intro in the general section. Helps to loosen the tongue... its like virtual beer on here.

And when some says RTFR... it means :

read the f*cking rules. 

RTFM is read the f*cking manual.

 

Think you'll be alright now

So some numpty has used 1 pipe to join the 2 vent hose spigots?

That vents the float bowls so bike will never run or run right. just cut the tube in the middle or remove it all together.

I assembled it with 2 new hoses - as meant to be...
