There seem to be two rubber tubes coming down from the bottom of the airbox, on the front left side of the bottom, one tube larger than the other. They are side-by-side, even touching each other. The narrower tube has a plug on it, while the larger one is open. Is this the way it is supposed to be??



The hoses are probably the airbox drains (follow them up to the box), you need to pull the little plug (squirrel condom) out of the hose and drain the oil/water that builds up in the box. Both airbox hoses should have the plugs in them. If they don't you can use a small bolt or get another plug of somekind to plug them up. You don't want them open as they are in front of the filters in the box and canm allow ulfiltered air to get in the carbs.

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice. Pat
