Hrmm ok so we have two different answers. Which one of you guys is right lol. What you have said is what I was afraid of - that the drain hoses are leaking gas due to a float or needle/seat problem creating a overflow of the bowls. What I got out of Bill's answer is that the drain hose is just a drain hose and should only leak gas if there is an issue with the drain screws, at which point I can just cap them if its just a drain. Anyone else want to weigh in?

So in that case I should be able to just cap those fittings off so it doesnt leak, and reinstall hoses if/when I ever want to drain the carbs I would think. Thanks, that's the exact info I was looking for.

My Banshee leaks quite a bit of gas from what the manual I have calls the "drain hose" of each carb. Not the "vent hose" which is higher but the very bottom drain hose. There is also a "drain screw" which I have tried tightening a bit but both seem semi stripped out or something they don't go tight. It leaks a LOT if I have the bike off and leave the gas valve on, not so much or barely at all if bike is running and using gas. My question is, is this indeed just a drain and I havea problem with the screws not totally closing, in which case can I just remove the hoses that lead under the bike and cap off the fitting so it no longer leaks. Or, is this more of a fuel bowl overflow situation, indicating a float problem in both carbs and its leaking overflow and probably flooding the bike as well?

I'm looking for a throttle cable that will work with thumb throttle, no TORS. I am converting back from a twist, have the thumb throttle but need the different cable. PM me if you have one and price. Thanks!

Do you happen to have a throttle cable for a thumb throttle and no TORS? I am looking to convert back from a twist to a thumb and need a cable.

Pics to jkielma@wi.rr.com please. Where are you located?

Where are you located, I may be interested in the whole bike.
