carb.

where does the hose go that comes off the very bottom nipple of the carb, that points out to the

right side of the atv? i guess it fell off on the last ride, and it poors gas when im riding. :shoothead:

sounds like it's the overflow hose, which is supposed to drain excess gas from the carb, like when you have a float sticking. maybe that's your problem. the overflow usually points straight back though.

im not sure but it looks like a hose goes on this nippel, for maby a fuel return or something.

it the one on the very bottom of the carb bowl, and it is leaking gas o ut of it.

anyone know where this hose goes or comes from?

that also can be used to drain the float bowl.there is also a screw on the foat bowl for the draining purpose make sure the screw is tight.turn it clockwise and make sure its good and snug.if it is then your float is probably sticking.if thats the case take carb apart clean it good and check your float bowl hieght.and as far as the hose goes its just a drain tube i believe it should go straight back from carb and go down between swing arm and frame and point twards the ground.also if your float hieght checks good it is possable you could have a bad neddle and seat

Only hose that flows INTO the carb is the gas line from the tank. all other hose flow out. Any direction you want. You can get extra line from Home Depot. there are 2 sizes of hose on the carb though.
