gas tank vent hose...where is it routed?

[boathead]

1. i took my tank off to replace the clutch cable....forgot to note where the vent hose gets routed. anyone?

2.and speaking of the clutch cable...is it normal for it to be so tight? the end of the cable at the lever is pulled into the locknut...will it loosen a bit? i've given it all the free play i can at the engine side.

3.vacuum hose: it seems to me the hose is a size or two too small to fit over the tank fitting. any tips?

1. Typically routed down to the ground along the right side of the engine.

2. Is the adjuster at the handlebar all the way in? You should have some freeplay with all the adjusters in so have another look.

3. Maybe someone replaced the hose at some point and stuffed on a piece that is too small? Auto parts stores sell that stuff so best to replace it with the proper size.

i am too stupid to live. i was trying to put the vacuum hose on the gas fixture. ugggh.

thanks for the routing of the hose advice.

for the clutch cable, i have little to no freeplay at the lever...i am thinking that i need to get the outer sleeve to move down while the inside cable moves out. i'll keep playing.

btw...having "senior member" next to my name and avator really sucks....i think people might be led to believe i know something....at least until they read a post or two.

anyways, i think i got it all going. first time i ever had the tank off. now i won't be intimidated by it.

thanks all.
