Three small rubber hoses (?????????????????)
« on: September 17, 2010, 11:33:55 PM »
question......What are the three quarter inch (more or less) rubber tubes that are hanging down on the left side on the kymco agility 50 (2009) near the front end of the (shiny) helical spring that holds the scooter stand in place...and getting down on my knees to look more carefully  see that they all run up sort of together to a point where they then run a ways back and into the area of the engine.
Please pardon my ignorance of mechanics and part names.......I just happened to notice them for the first time tonight when I need to take a good look at the two scooter stands...........maybe they are air intakes (?) or what.....it just seemed a bit strange to me to see them hanging there.
Thanks for your help. ???

..if you're talking about the open-end tubes...

..one is the drain tube from the bottom of your carburetor's bowl...

..another is the tube that would drain any fuel that might leak from the petcock area..

..the other is the overfill drain for your fuel tank...

..don't sweat not knowing...it's why we're all here...

Yeah, I'm still only seeing two. I'm not sure where the third one should be. I'm trying to trace the origin and end point of all the tubes or hoses the same approximate size in diameter.  :-\

if you only see 2 no big deal the one from the over flow from the gas tank might be gone.

Sounds like a fun time if you run over a cig butt that someone just threw out of their car window.
