Hot-Rod, is that tubing just LAYING in the cowl??? Is/was it connected on either end? You got a water pressure gage in your instrument cluster?

YES,NO,YES

Sorry, I didn't see this. I replied to your email... That is what I think it is. Either that or a piece for the speedometer. Some went in the cowl, then down the mid.

On the top of the engine, at the back, there is a hose that goes down beside the starboard (right) head and goes to a plate mounted on the side towards the bottom. Somewhere in that line they will be a "T" fitting in it. See if there is a hose attached to the "T".

The hose will go where I have drawn the red lines.

I can't find any open connection where a hose should attach. The hose you are referring to is much larger than the one i am holding in the pics, the inside diameter of the hose i'm holding is about 1 /16"....( extremely small )

 

[wrechin2]

Yes, the water pressure hose is small. The hose I am referring to will have a "T" that is necked down to the smaller hose. It may have been left in there by someone working on it. It may be a piece of the bleeder hose.

You may have one of the engines that the water pressure gauge goes in at the bottom of the divider also.

Check on the back of your air cleaner that attach over the carbs. That looks strangely similar to the little bitty hose I was trying to reattach after I took it off to change out the fuel pumps on my yamaha. There should be a little nipple on the air cleaner that the hose slips over. If that is it, use a little tw3 oil to lube the nipple and slip it on. The other end goes to the reserve oil tank (I think).

His is a EFI engine and has nothing like that. His bleeder system ia all attached to each other and goes to the VST. NONE of the bleeder hoses are that long on the EFI engine but would be on a carb engine.
