I have an 83 yamaha tri moto 175 and dont know what this part is, down and left from the filler cap but looks to me like the missing hose from there should go to the carb fitting that is missing a hose in the other picture

Don't know how long its been gone, the trike was a freebie from a friend and I rode it for years till now when it wont run unless on a prime.
Thanks

Here is the bikebandit schematic: http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1983-yamaha-tri-moto-175-yt175k/o/m147060#sch230956

The part is number 18, but all it says is cover. Part number 19 says drain gasket.

don't worry about it that's a carb overflow for the extra gas to go so it don't leak out in the environment.

Good to know, I'll hook up a hose to feel safe and more green.
Thanks old yellow for help on both my questions and I love the tri moto video you have there on your page.
