Hey guys....doing the AMA Renfro Valley ride this weekend. Anyone else going?
Expecting some deep water crossings. I know there's a carb vent hose that can get water in it when crossing deep water....thus causeing the bike to stall. Can you tell me which one it is? Real plain talk too....like "Back of carb, drivers side, lower hose" if you don't mind.
Or maybe even post a pic
I DO NOT want the old gal stalling when going through water like this...

I thought about that too. Seems like maybe you could put a " T " fitting real close to the carb (high above water), and then you can vent up and down....RBD wrote:It is my opinion that the carb vents (all) should go down and unobstructed after it leaves the carb. If you run the vents up, gas can get trapped in them and this can cause stalling.....

Well, this all goes back to a problem I've had of sometimes stalling when going through somewhat deep water (1.5 - 2 feet). SOmeone told me I was stalling because those vent hoses were getting blocked by the deep water. ANy other feedback? The drain on the bottom my airbox seems pretty tight....no water getting in there.

I run all of them but the carb overflow in the air box, never seem to have any issue.
