Carburetor Rubber Overflow Tubes - Where to Buy ?
« on: September 13, 2016, 05:32:59 AM »
I am looking for the rubber overflow tubes and haven't seen any available from any of the suppliers I have looked at. Where are you guys purchasing these from and if none are available is there a good substitute from the local auto parts suppliers ?

 If not doing a correct resto Tygon lines come in many sizes small to large. See it at Napa and many other places. If you really want to go cheap clear aquarium line would probably work also since its not immersed in gas.

Windshield washer vacuum hose.  10' should run you just a few $ and is enough to do all and trim to fit under your swingarm.
Your carbs are perfect and they'll never overflow, so not being fuel resistant is not an issue  ;)

Just get a black hose the proper ID and don't worry about fuel resistance.
