Here is a shot of my carbs.


Here is a close up of the red circled part that im pointing at


I put the airbox back together and hooked up all breather/vaccum lines that I disconnected and I put the tank back on. I went to start it and gas started leaking from that pointed nozzle part I circled in the close up. I dont remember any line hooking up to that. Why was it leaking? Thanks

 

Did you smash it somehow with the carb? Start it up and look where its leaking from. Dont get any on the engine or plastics

 

Is your bike a california model?

Where the circled piece is, on my bike, is just a hose "T" to join the 2 hoses to the main fuel line.

I've never seen that piece before, if you could remove it and take some better pictures it might give me a better idea.

 

Cali model. I started it up and its leaking from that nozzle. Im stumped, It was running perfect. All I did was remove the tank and air cleaner, and I put it back exactly how it was before. Ill try to take a better pic for you.

 

Do you have a service manual for the california model?

That piece has something to do with the emissions junk on that bike, if you can find it in the manual let me know.

 

i can not find it in the manual

 

I think its called the purge control valve

Its under the CANISTER (AC) schematic

Well that nipple looks like a hose belongs on there... Do you have any loose hoses hanging around?

I wish I could be more help, but I am unfamiliar with the emissions system on the cali bikes

 

It does look like something belongs there but I dont remember disconnecting anything from it and I keep double checking and I cant find any loose hoses. Thanks anyways Hershey I think Ima have to look at someone elses F2 or F3 to figure it out.

 

that is what mine looks like
