Default Bought used Foreman 500 and found line disconnected

Bought a used 2006 Foreman and after I brought it home and found a flexible line disconnected. ATV runs runs good with no apparent problems. I have looked and looked and cannot find where it needs to be hooked up, bugging me bad. Enclosing a couple of photbucket shots. Photos are taken from the RH side of the ATV as you are riding. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like the carb drain line. It should only be connected on the one end. The little black valvle on the end of the line is a one way valve. Only allowing gas out and nothing back in.
You should have it ran almost straight down and towards the back of the frame. If you search you should be able to see a small metal loop on the frame below the carb where it should be thread thru and dangles under the frame.


Oops, HondaMechanic beat me to it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
