Ive decided i need to run carb cooling this winter lol ...as it took forever to get the thing started this morning due to the coldness.

has anyone got any pics of where these hoses go?

Cheers :D

Water hoses wont make it start any faster on a morning, fail:laugh:

Use the choke or fit one if you havent got the flap anymore

i dont have a choke ..had the cable but broke the lever on it. ..so have to sit and rev it i the morning... i woulda thought having the water hoses on the carb would reduce carb freeze?

The idea of the choke is to richen the mixture to aid cold starting & fast idle;)

mine can be a pain, just turn the ignition pump ya pedal first then fire her up, an just hold the revs at 2 grand job done.

Sounds like you need the ole 5mm drill bit measurment tool and reset the rod length.
