i got 1985 350x problems, help please - new here

[Caleb.Thomas]

Hey, i'm new to the site, and to three wheelers.

So bascially what happened was my three wheeler had to have frames switched, and i don't know much about these beasts so i need some help
what happened was my friend was doing everything for me, but i've been waiting on him for 6 months to put the motor in so i decided to do it myself
Let me rephrase this, i know NOTHING about these things, so what i've got so far was i got the motor in the bike
I got everything hooked up, carbs in the bike everythings on it besides plastics/seat/tank
my question is:
i have a few black hoses coming off the carb and when i turn the gas on they leak everywhere.
i'm pretty sure i hooked everything up right, i figured out where the clutch cable went,got all the motor mounts in the spots, done all that.
i'm just not sure.. what do i do with those black hoses coming off the carb? are they over flows?
do i just let them sit and leak? (obviously not so i'm not sure what to do)

can someone please post, or leave a video/URL
i'm not sure about these things, so if someone could post a long video of the complete restoration on a bike, or atleast just either cleaning/hooking the
carb up to the bike or somthing.
i can post videos/pictures tomorrow if needed

again
new to the site, just joined today. also never worked on a 350x never worked on a atc/atv before. :wondering


ALSO!! Sorry if i posted in wrong forum/part, if so can someone direct me to the right place :)

The hoses on the left and right of the carb are atmospheric vent tubes. The one on the bottom of the carb is the bowl drain/overflow tube. Fuel should only ever come out of the drain tube when the trike is on its wheels. If fuel is coming out of the vent tubes and the trike is on its wheels, something is wrong with the carb. Its time for a carb rebuild. I have a rebuilt 85 carb ready to bolt on for 125.00 as an easy solution.

Thanks for the info, what do i do with the Atmospheric vent tubes.
do they go anywhere or just hang off?
i can go post some pictures in the morning and explain what i mean for more detailed information

Hello

Post the photos on flickr etc then post a link to them.

There is a small clip that screws to the bottom of the carb that holds the hoses then thy typically run thru another clip on the back of the motor. Click all the links below 2 are fiches with original parts for sale.

Hello

I mentioned I can not open the photos this way. For me to see them they must be loaded to another photo hosting site as I mentioned.

[Caleb.Thomas]

here's what i mean, i'm not sure on why the other links aren't posting.

still needing help :P

[Caleb.Thomas]

When i have the gas tank on, it leaks gas, straight from the overflow.
also, do i just let all 3 tubes hang off the side???

[Flyingw]

Yes, let them hang. Your float is stuck open and that's why there is fuel leaking out the overflow. Time for a rebuild

[Caleb.Thomas]

Alright cool, thank you for the info.
when i get home tomorrow i should get it up and running.
