Carb Overflow Tubes
« on: April 24, 2014, 01:09:09 PM »
Hi guys,

I can't seem to find overflow tubing for the carbs.  Is it no longer available from Honda?  A site search didn't show much in the way of buying some.  Anyone have a good source or link to replacement tubing? 


Thanks in advance!

cheap windshield washer line will suffice, but will harden over time, especially if lots of gas flows through it.

Thanks guys!

I should have updated this thread, Harisuluv on the site offers it.  Great price and I picked up a bunch other carb parts I needed at the same time.  Plus I'd just as soon spend my $ with guys on the site.
