Question about carb venting
OK, so riddle me this: the 2 carb vent hoses that lead off of the T's and just hang out under the air box... what happens if one of those clogs up? Been chasing a mystery bogging issue and just discovered upon carb removal that one of those hoses was collapsed at the T and pinched completely shut. Wondering what symptoms that might cause.

Re: Question about carb venting
These drain excess fuel out of the float bowls to somewhere safe, a puddle on the ground instead of into (ultimately) the crankcase.
