How many hoses go to carb?

Post by SlothSpree »

I'm counting 3.. the 2 from petcock and 1 for the drain underneath. Is there supposed to be any others attached to carb?

What scooter/motor is it on?
There is a vent on most of the scooter carbs I’ve seen and a hose would have come on it when bought new.

I have an 84, with 3 in and 1 out. 2 top most for gas, 1 (lowest) for oil. Out on passenger side appears to be the vent.

Mind you, my carb is still attached to the intake so I am referencing those hoses as well.

I'm so knowledgable now after reading the wiki I'll even add that since you mention it the 2 from the petcock serve to get Fuel to the carb. The lower thinner hose draws vacuum which allows the upper thicker hose to deliver the fuel via the design of the petcock.
