Carburator Question?

[YZViper366]

Hello,
This is kind of a dumb question but I need to know i want to change the caruretor hoses on my sled and i have gone to every store in town and no one has the right size to fit it so i want to order them off the internet so i need to know the specific size of the hose I have looked everywhere for the answer but apparently no one else has had this same problem haha thanks for the help.

Not sure which hose you are talking about though.

Possibly REF# 65 or 82 as shown in the schematic?

I believe it would be 66 on the schematic I just need to know the diameter of them

Those are just vent hoses(#66) save yourself alot of money and just bring one of your old ones to the hardware store and get clear vent hose. I changed all of mine for a couple bucks buying by the foot, would've cost me a fortune at the stealer buying precut.

Yes!!

OEM.

Anything else is asking for trouble.

The few dollors you save on cheap hose could cost you BIG!! down the road.

Why does that matter if you can just buy it cheaply from the link I gave you? Port Yamaha is a site sponsor, good rep!

I believe they are 1/4" i.d. if I remember right from doing mine

And do not forget the brittle one w/ the filter in the tank. Sounds like a PITA but it is not bad at all.

I just checked the vent line I have it is 1/4" or .250" O.D. .170" or about 11/64" I.D. Hope this answers your question

Just dont cheap out dude. You'll regret it and if you're like me and a solo yammie rider in a group of Cats and Doos you'll also get hurt feelings and pride forever. That is of course as long as the Cats and Doos manage to go 5 miles without popping...

These guys are right. OEM is an assurance of a minimal level of quality. In my case I have 1 dealer who charges 2.97 for every little 1 dollar part. No matter what it is, bolt, nut washer, spring, o-ring. Everything is $2.97 (if you don't believe me look up anything on babbittsonline) or I have to drive 35 miles each way to the next closest dealer(Grand Rapids) or pay shipping for a dollar part. So I get slowly bled by this guy or it's off to NAPA for SAE quality. It sucks when they know they gotcha!

I have used the black, reinforced 1/4 inch stuff that you can get at any lawnmower shop w/ good results. Needs to definately be reinforced to prevent collapse. Especially on a pulse line.
