Is it difficult to drain the carb. I have had bad experiences with doing carb work (when I was young and foolish . . 15 . . I did something to the carb on my fathers Trimoto 125 and messed up the engine). Don't ask what . . . cause I don't know . . . only that Dad had to shell out $s to get it fixed. .

That drain tube for the carb . . . is it difficult to find? Which side of the bike would there be easier access and is it on the front, back, side or bottom of the carb?

Mine is located on the left side right between the PVT and the engine. look at the bottom of your carb and follow the line that is hanging from it.

The water is sucked up the drain tube and goes up through the overflow tube in the bowl of the carb. It is a very common problem. Some bikes come with a oneway check vavle in the drain tube but not ours.
