Random loose Fuel hose form Petcock?

#1 PostAuthor: Royalratch » Sat May 04, 2013 6:03 pm

Hi all.

Bike wont start after being under a cover for winter. battery is fresh. Fuel is fresh. Its' been warm out so the strater clutch usually works - only thing I can see is that this hose is loose.

Its coming form the fuel tap / petcock and looks like some ind of vacuum hose?

Where does it go?
