Default 2003 Polaris TB 250 carb

I have a 2003 Polaris TB 250 and I need help finding out where the 3 clear hoses go on the carburetor. I think 2 of them are vents but not sure.. They was connected by a plastic T on the bottom. I took them off to look at them cuz the atv had sat for about 2 yrs and I wanted to make sure they wasnt clogged and now don't know how to put them back on.. Any diagrams or pics would help so much.. Thanks

Throw the "T' away!This confuses a lot of people and most of them end up falling off any way. Just run a separate carb bowl drain line,plus the the upper hoses are vents. Just run them up along the throttle/choke cable and zip tie em up to where they tuck under the tank a little. If you need new 3/16" tubing,most auto stores have it.

Thanks... so both (2) tubes on top are vents.. and I discard the T (3 connections) on the bottom left like driver side or left leg side of the carb and connect the clear tube now without the T on it to the carb... So there is only 1 clear tube with any gas going to or from the carb... oh and where is the carb bowl drain line... Thanks again..

There will be a small nipple on the bottom of the carb bowl that is for the overflow tube.

Okay so now its getting me confused lol.. I went to my Polaris dealer and they think that the one on the bottom connects with one on top where that T was in which I will do like you said and just make them separate. But there saying one of the ones on top is for your oil to mix as it is a 2 stroke.. But they wasn't sure which one on top.. Does that sound right... Kinda worried now as I don't want to take it to them to fix if they don't know more about it than me haha.. I will try to insert a image for you later on.. Thanks

Okay I vented the two on top and when I turn the gas peacock on gas comes pouring out the two vented tubes...

Do you have a 250 or a 300? If it's a 300 then yes one line on the lower left of the carb is the oil injection line. If it's a 250 see if this helps any.Plus on a 250 both upper tube nipples are just atmospheric vents and can be run up separately without having to mess with a "T"

Thanks for the videos... I don't know why the 2 vents up top are filling up with gas... If there pointing down gas just runs out..

Then you have a float arm or needle and seat problem that's overflowing from the carb bowl through the vent tubes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARB-REPAIR-REBUILD-KIT-POLARIS-TRAIL-BLAZER-TRAILBLAZER-250-96-97-98-99-00-01-/370643954578?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564c19eb92&vxp=mtr

Okay so I've watched the videos that you sent and there great.. But I still don't feel as though this is something that I could do successfully. Although I know I can take it off and put it back on machine. So is there a place that I can order a new one ready to just put on.. Maybe even a better one than stock.. My local Polaris want $150 to just clean it. Thanks
