    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where does that hose go?

So I worked on my 80 850L over the winter and painted my tank and such. I have a hose I don't know where it goes. On the carbs there is a piece called the "nipple" that runs in-between the inside and outside carbs. Basically it is a T with a hose that runs up twords the tank. I don't know where the hose goes. The other side has a similar system but no hose attached. What is it and wher does it go?
Thanks!
 
It's just a vent for the float bowls. Some people leave them off.
 
It's a vent as Jethro said - Mine were run upwards and towards the back of the bike, right under the seat - just make sure it isn't pinched. I have a picture, but I don't know how to display them here yet...

Trying to attach the image of the hoses coming from the carbs - in the picture you can see the bolts from the back of the tank, the battery a little bit on the left, and the rightside clip holding the seat in place - the black hoses resting in the middle open to the air under the seat are what I'm assuming you might be talking about.
