Carb coolant lines

[Deigo27]

Is it fine to bypass the coolant lines for the carb by linking head hose to head hose and carb hose to carb hose, it won't cause any issues will it?

@deigo27 it's fine lots of people have done it. They are only needed if you live in a country which is very cold. I'm in UK and most people I know have bypassed them. The idea is to prevent the throttle slide from sticking in extreme cold.

@markus-w cheers mare just wanted to be 100% sure, just cleaned carb today n was full of varnish looking petrol cos bikes been sat ages, jets were blocked too really dirty tbh! Cleaned n refitted but just looped head hose to other head pipe n done same with carb pipes.. I'm in Scotland, cheers mate
