Overflow Pipes

[wrenchead]

After cleaning both carbs on the 74 TX 650, the overflow pipes need to be replaced. Does anyone have the exact length measurements on either/both of these parts?

That would depend on where you want the gas to leak out when you forget to close the petcock….

What are overflow pipes?

I interpreted that as the tubing attached to the barbs? Keep them short, get gas on the engine. Make them long, get gas on the floor. Just personal preference. lol

Pretty sure it's tubes inside the float bowl.

They're height limited by the carb body above so just shy of that?

I probably have the name wrong. I’m referring to the two tubes that join both carbs when the carbs are mounted on the intake manifolds. They both appear to be about an inch and a half in length.

Picture?

Cut them out of soft tygon fuel line. One is the choke circuit cross over. (There's only one choke on those carbs) The other the fuel feed cross connect. Assemble on intakes measure body to body cut that length

Filthy as removed carbs but note the bowl vents are not connected and drop down through a tab held by a float bowl screw.

That definitely helps. Thank you.
