carburetor overflow hose?
« on: October 15, 2013, 10:43:41 PM »
after taking off and putting on the back tire, i noticed a tube which is hanging down by the air filter, which doesn't plug into anything. i'm worried that i detached it from somewhere, but i can't find any place where it would fit. the scooter runs.
see attached picture. i went through the service manual but it is hard to see if its this one

i marked the tube in yellow.
see url

That's the fuel drain hose for the float bowl.

If you look on the other side of the carb, the hose should be attached to a nipple that has a flathead screw on it.  If you turn the screw, the fuel will drain out of the float bowl and down that hose.
