on each of the fuel bowls on the su carbs on my 63 TR4 there is a little vent tube, which when it arrived had little lengths of hose attached. seems rather superfluous to me. assuming Ib m not concer

In the original configuration, there was also a short curved length of pipe, with the end stuck into the mesh of the air filters. I believe the idea was to at least partially block dirt from getting

The vent is also the overflow in the incidence of a stuck float valve. I have 3 sets of SU H6 for the TR3s and they all have the short piece of fuel line followed buy a short copper line bent at 90 d

A while back at Bailey's we had an MGB-GT ( sorry ) towed in from a tire place or some such "specialist" with serious carb problems. The techs down there had put the fuel lines on the overflow vents,

i would route the tube as Randall suggested or route them into your air filter as originally fitted. in the event your float bowl overflows the gas will drip/run onto your very hot exhaust manifold w

"the gas will drip/run onto your very hot exhaust manifold with dire consequence" raises an interesting question. Having just last week cremated a lawnmower/tractor which had a leaking valve cover ga

In addition to what's been said, I believe you are missing the short pipes because you have TR4A air filters and they won't fit with the pipes on place. Allen ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Donate: h

I suspect it depends on the particulars. I have seen gas dripping onto a manifold that was literally glowing red (it turned dark after every drop then got red again) and it did not ignite. I have al

The rubber hose with the bent tube should go into the air cleaner. The only reason was to vent the float chamber fumes into the air stream going into the engine. Triumph didn't plan on the float need

I've heard the same thing. Gasoline will flash into vapor well below its self-ignition point. Oil, on the other hand, will stay in contact with the manifold and smolder. But maybe just urban myths. D

Could switch to ZS carbs. They don't vent they just weep a little in various places. Best preventative thing is to keep the fuel chambers clean of stuff that will cause fuel valves to stick and then

Is that is a joke? All carbs have float bowl vents, the ZS carbs are no exception. The emissions versions actually have two bowl vents per carb, one through the face (into the air filter) and the ot

Not a joke just an incomplete statement. I should have said ZS carbs don't have a designed float chamber vent that ends up with liquid gas dripping directly onto the exhaust the way that SU carbs app

On uncle jack's race car he ran the vent lines out of the engine compartment so that if gas DID run out of them it would be well away from the header. Seems like a good idea... That's what they did o
