I just removed the valve cover and I noticed there's a disconnected hose originating from directly underneath the carburetor the hose is disconnected on the side that's not connected into the carburetor, is this normal or did I unplug it from somewhere by accident I can't find the other port to connect it. The hose has gooey Stuff on the disconnected end around its circumference for almost 1 inch near the outlet The hose is about a 1/4th inch of width 2013 Bintelli Sprint
Thank you

I just realized I probably disconnected it as I just saw it leak on the ground a little and this scooter has never leaked anything so far anyone knows where to connect the hose?

Both ends disconnected? You sure there's no place to connect it on the carb?

It's connected to the carb, it's the other end that's disconnected

Do you have a nipple on the bottom of your carb that this belongs on? Do you have an overflow tube on the side of your carb with no hose?

It's most likely a float bowl vent hose or a float bowl drain hose which must have a screw to shut it off, either at the end of the hose or on the carb very near to where it connects. Both should remain disconnected.

There should be a hose connected to a port on the rocker arm / cam cover. It is the crankcase vent tube. Some vent directly to atmosphere, some to a canister, and some to the air intake tube leading to the carburetor air inlet. There is a float bowl vent that has a 'bolgona' slice on the end, that comes out and turns 90 degrees which is open to air. There is a float bowl drain as mentioned above. Some are plain tubing with no 'end' fitting, some are 'armored' tubing with a metal fitting on the end. The plain tubes can be used to drain the float bowl into a container when storing the scoot by opening the valve in the bottom of the float bowl. The armored tube with the fitting at the end should allow draining the float bowl by loosening the screw in the end of the fitting. The fitting is normally bolted to the side of the CVT case using the frontmost bottom cover bolt. The drain fitting on the bottom of the float bowl would have to be left 'open' to allow draining using the fitting. There are possibly one or two more hoses connected(or three). The vacuum line to operate the fuel shutoff petcock, the vacuum line to the emissions canister, and the fuel line. Cannot think of any more. tom
