Stuck Float

[RIDEREDson]

Can anyone tell me how and where the little black rubber hose thingy inside the carb is suppose to go? I know I must not be putting it together right because the float will get stuck open and pour gas.

I don't remember a little black hose in my carb........... I just had it apart a week ago. Maybe the hose does not go inside the carb?

[RIDEREDson]

yeah its some lil black rubbery thing about 2 inches long. It was in mine when I took it apart.

[RIDEREDson]

ANybody else? Is there suppose to be this thing in my carb or not?

Dude, theres alot more smarter people on this forum. Its a simple question. But once again people with the dumbest ?'s get pages and pages of answers. While I can;t get nothing with 2 threads made already.

Ummm... I don't recall a hose inside mine... but mine is older too.

Go to motosport.com and just pull up the parts diagram for your machine. Then look at the exploded view of your carb.

hey bud i hav an 06 and i hav had the stock carb and the 450r carb that i have on her now apat many more times than i can conut and i hav never seen a blk hose in there!! take a pic so we can see what ur talking bout

[RIDEREDson]

I guess it aint suppose to be in there. I put it together without it and it started up and it dies after running for a few minutes now it wont start again.

ive had a few carbs apart. i do not remember seeing any black hose in the carb. like the the guy said up above, look at a parts diagram and figure out what you have going on.

You should invest in a Clymer manual. Mine paid for itself the first time I tore my carb apart and had an "extra" piece when I went to put it back together, lol.

Get a pic of the part in question and I'm sure one of us will be able to tell you where it goes.

I fixed it guys. I guess someone had it in there before and it threw me off. I took it out and everythings fine. The float was sticking but I ended up fixing that problem so finally my re-jet is complete.
