When I had my carb off, I removed that little fitting that attaches to the bottom of the float bowl and threw it away. I used a long piece of coolant hose, and just looped it. I'm assuming that part is intended to warm the gas in the float bowl, but I don't see how that could do any good. I have seen engines with heated manifolds, to help the air/fuel mixture atomize when it is cold. But heating the float bowl makes no sense to me. I live in AZ, where it doesn't get cold enough to make a difference anyway, and it's been running just fine for over 2 years without that thing. Now the carburetor can be removed a lot easier, without making a mess.

Bad move, carb is heated for many reasons.

Very useful, thank you for the sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting. I can take things apart. This will help (I suspect carburetor is fouled, sitting for a few weeks after staring perfectly after winter here .. Ontario 🇨🇦).

There is a little mechanical lever in the glove compartment. Opens the seat without battery power.

Spedo isn't working.
