I just took the gas tank off my 98 warrior and found a 6" black tube about 1/4 ID comming out of the carb. It just comes out turns and that's it. It doesn't attach to anything? I find myself thinking why the he.. do they put that there. I take all the time to put a good filter on my bike and its sucking all the dirt it want's through this tube!!!

Somebody tell me what's up with that!!!

 

Well, I will take a guess and say that you are looking at your beather tube that is comming out of your motor.

 

Ill take a better guess and say your looking at the overflow hose on your carb it doesnt suck air in it lets gas out from hitting jumps and riding through ruff terrain. Theres no way dirt is going to get sucked up a 6 inch tube with a hole the size of a pin head unless theres a vaccuum on the other side.

 

It's not the gas overflow tube. I can't imagine that they have changed the warrior in 12 years, somebody must have seen the 1/4 ID tube that comes off of the carb at the top slightly to the back side right under the tank. I only found it when I took the gas tank off and was changing the jet. It was about 5 or 6" long and you could almost fit a pencil in the end.

I got a e-mail that he thaught it was a breather tube for the carb. so the vaccum oporated slide and needle could (breath) this is probably it, sounds right anyway.

with it just sticking up like that it just seems like dust and dirt or sand could get down it in to the carb. it's plunty big enough. But I'm sure they know what there doing, so I'll leave it alone when I put my warrior back together.

 

I saw that tube also, when I adjusted the valves for the first time. I had the same thoughts. I just tucked it back in and left it. I figured it must be some kind of breather tube??
