I am installing a new Mikuni 45 and had to grind the fins away to get it to fit. Now I am wondering how to route the overflow hose at the bottom of the float bowl. Anyone have any thoughts on this, before I just take it off all together, and be done with it.

I ran my hose down between the rear pushrod tubes and down around the space between my engine and trans toward the inner prymary cover where I let it turn down.

I have a Dyna so I tiestraped it to the vent hose that runs from the engines lower case to the trans top cover.

good luck, PS I had to grind the barrels too, no biggie.

enjoy you new carb! If you find that the carb is too fat in the mid-range and it hard to tune it out, look at Head-Quarters Mikuni tuning kit, I only used the emulsion tube, but it worked wonders!

 

Thanks Mentor, That kinda seems to be the only good place to put it. Probably won't look the best but something always has to suffer.
