Was getting my 03 700 on the trailer awhile ago and for some reason noticed something I have not before. A small clear plastic tube in the middle of the machine hanging almost straight down to just above the frame. The tube is smaller than a drinking straw, maybe half that size. I will take a picture if that will help tomorrow.

if it's anything like the SP500 I used to have, it's a breather tube for the battery.

 

it's the carb overflow. You'll notice gas dripping from it now and again. if you go mudding, plug it before and unplug it afterwards.

 

Ha Ha Ha both are correct but one is wrong[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

it could be either or. As I said, my SP500 had a breather from the battery that ran through the skid plates. I happened to notice it laying on the snow one day after I had the machine on it's side. I couldn't figure out where it came from since my breather for the carb was still in place.

 

Mine goes to the battery....
