Fuel tank

Post by robvtr »

Morning

Just a quick question

I have had the storm in bits for the last few weeks but are now putting it back together, there are 2 hoses on the underneath of the fuel tank, a black rubber one and a clear plastic one, am I correct in thinking they are an overflow and breather and therefore not connected to anything else but left open

Cheers

It's a 1998 with a fuel tap under the tank

If the are connected to the tank then you are correct - one is the overflow and the other the breather

That will leave 2 x petrol pipes and 1 x vacuum pipe which DOESN'T connect to the bottom of the petrol rock, but the side.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
