I'm plumbing my engine into a Reliant Kitten. It's a '91 CBR1000F engine and I'm struggling to identify at least one of the connections to the carbs. Can anyone ID me this small hose going to the side of the carbs please? Is it a vaccuum hose as part of a fuel cut off system. This hose is not there on the earlier carb set I have. Thanks.

 

Not sure if this will help you or not, but here is diagram of what your assembly should look like. Link

 

Thanks but I can't see that hose on there.

 

I thought it might be in the exploded subset drawing in the upper left. I do not see the rigid 90 degree tube though, not for the model described anyway.

 

I think it's the vacuum hose (#7)

running from the engine side of the carb to the fuel petcock. If you're running fuel directly to the carbs on your setup, just block this pipe, otherwise you'll have a lean carb!

Cheers

 

Thanks for that.
