Need part ID please

Post by Stormswift »

As I was tucking in my Buddy 150cc I noticed a thin hose that does not seem to be attached to anythig on one end. Its on left side near gear box?

Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but my Buddy has that hose as well. It's nothing to worry about, it's a drain hose that's meant to be as such. ( I forget where it comes from.)

I'm almost certain you're talking about one of the carb drains. It's meant to be loose like that.

Yup, carb drain hose. The other end is connected to the bottom of the carb's float bowl.

I'll third the carb drain tube. It is supposed to hang low like that because should you drain the carb bowl after running the motor, it would be unwise to let it drip down combustible fluids onto a hot engine
