Post by xsk3l3t0rx »

i have been wondering what this little thing is. its a little black tube, there is currently a screw stuck in it right now, and if i take the screw out, the bike starts revving really high. im sure it must connect somewhere, but i mean its been riding fine since ive had it (4 months) i just wanna know where it is supposed to go to. its the little black tube thingie in the picture. is it ok to have a screw stuck in it? well thanks for ur help, all of you guys have helped save my spree. my recent air filter replacement went great and it transformed my bike into something totally different. dramatic difference! well thanks anyway guys.Image

that would be where your vaccum hose is supposed to go for your fuel petcock which apparently you don't have.

Yea, lets see the bottom of your gas tank where the hose hooks up.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Probably got a bad petcock that's open all the time and PO just blocked the vacuum hoses off.

Or the diaphragm has a rip in it and dumps fuel into the intake.
