      Hi guys,

      Just bought a dt 125r from 1990.
      Got a question for the carb.

      Does the 2 circled pipes go anywhere or are they overflows?

      Thanks for the help!

        They are carb warmer pipes.

        Coolant from the cylinder head go to the carb to warm it up!

          @tim85 on my bike they are overflow/breather pipes as they connect to nothing, just directed downwards. I think The smaller lower one is for when you drain the float bowl. The carb warming pipes are on the other side and a bit higher. Sort of directly behind the choke linkage, 2 pipes quite close together and pointing upwards My warming pipes have just been removed and looped at the cylinder head by the previous owner. I guess they're only needed if you live in a cold country.

            Yeah sorry, not sure what I was really thinking. I jist said carb warming pipes for no discernable reason.

            I haven't seen that carb for years. I can't even remember where those hoses are anymore.

            The fact they are pointing down suggest that they are overflow.

              @Calum no worries mate. When somebody asks that question it usually is the warmer pipes they're refering to as I think they're quite a rarity. Well in the UK at least.
