Just removed my carb for a strip and rebuild on my 08 250 txt pro. Its got an overflow / breather pipe in the choke side about 2" long. On the other side is a spiggot which looks like a pipe should be on it but there isn't. Should there be a pipe or not. I'm worried water etc could enter the carb if the pipe isn't on the other side. Any ideas ?

Should have a 90 degree outlet on both sides, and a short tube like that does make a good crap deflector when washing and such on both.

Thanks for that. I thought it was missing something.

I have got one tube to both sides, with a large cut on the bottom

If you use a single pipe to join both sides it must have hole at the bottom.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll do two single pipes.

Are they breather or overflow pipes ?

Yeah, I cut out a sort of diamond shape on the bottom of the tube. Easily done with cut pliers

They are breathers but fuel can spill if the bike it on its side.
