after a lil bit of riding i realized that there are three small tubes (2 black and one black with yellow tip) that come from the carb are hooked up to NOTHING. The yellow tipped one had a little drop of liquid in it and it smelled like gas. WTF is wrong with it or is it just how it is???

 

These are just vent tubes for excess fuel that may overflow in the carb so it won't push through and flood the engine. It is most common in situations where your front end is pointing to the sky!! They are completely natural and will occasionally spill a little bit. IF you see a consistant leak out of them at any point, that is when you may want to consider replacing seals in your carb. But not to worry, everything is normal right now!!

 

Thanks a ton man. I was getting worried for a minute [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. I dont know my quad too well and dont know whats what very well either so any help from the forums are very much appreciated.
