Hey guys, New here and have run into a slight snag.
Part number 18 on this Page doesn't not have part 18 on it. Obviously, it should. However, after fiddling with the hose, I see no possible way that I can even get the hose to reach the carb. I've tugged, twisted and tried my best to even get them to mate up. I just don't see how it is going to fit....
Any suggestions ? It seem to run okay even with a slight gap between the boot and carb, but I dont want to suck anything bad into it. I don't plan on doing any dirt riding right away, and may not ever.. So, a K&N and removal of the airbox may be in the works anyway.
use a heat gun two make the tube softer and you shod be abel to make it fit,weth age the tube get stiff and hard two fit and even shrenk,heat is the keys two these prolem.
Order a new air box to carb tube. They shrink over time. I had the exact same year as yours and when I replaced the tube, it was about 1/2 inch longer than the one on the bike.
Been there done that. I've heated mine with a hair dryer and heat gun, boiled it in water, and left it out in the sun. It works to heat it up, but after it cools it shrinks again. You need to get a new one. My old one was about 3/4 of an inch shorter than the new one.
just for record, weth it heated up u installs it in positen on airbox and carberater weth clamp and it doesnt shrenk untel you take it of again next time,you dont just heat it up and two see if it get longer, but if you want two spend the money and wait, buying a new one will work two.i persenally woodent buys a new one unles it had hole in it.
I just bought a 1991 with the same problem. Had a new top hose off a 90's Chevrolet pickup (new). Cut it to size, with the right angle, fit perfect onto the carb and into the airbox. The redneck way to do it, but it worked!
I got my replacement airbox off ebay the other day and the hose on it was a miniature version of the one I have. I was wondering if I had gotten the wrong part, but after seeing this thread I feel relieved. I can't believe those things shrink like that!! The one I just got is off an '87 and it is literally 2/3 the size of the one off my '06.
Hello I bought a new tdub my first motorcycle! I appreciate you all on this forum I’ve been learning a lot.

Hi,
I'm having a bit of an issue with my 2003 TW200. As I was riding yesterday, I suddenly lost all electrical power (no headlight, no tail light, no dash lights). After arriving to my destination I turned it off and couldn't start it using the electrical power (not even clicking as with a dead...
Gang,
I've been given quite a bit of help in my pilot screw adjustment thread and I surely appreciate it. But, I thought I'd do another thread about SPARK. Now, just for some slight history here, I've been messing with engines for decades as a DIY type etc. And that includes old, worn out lawn...
Morning all
Some time ago I bought 2003 TW125 with a view to go and play in the mud with my stepson.
Since then I have had a weird issue. Sometimes but not always it will idle ridiculously high
For example, I got it running OK but then due to family issues had to leave it for a while. When I...
