1995 sportster syphon tubes

[80newhaven]

I am missing my syphon tubes on my sportster that go in by the blower. I would like to know if there is anybody that has some for me. I am in need of them. If not what would be the best solution for fixing the problem of water coming in.

What are these tubes hooked to? Are these the tubes that are hooked to the pump to draw water out of the bilge? (like the regular Seadoos use)

I have a 96 Sportster, and it uses a regular bilge pump, so I'm not exactly sure what tubes you are talking about.

they are hooked to the pump to take water out of the belig. I was told that I was missing the syphon tubes on them. I am not sure if a 1995 sportster with single engine has these. any help?

Look in the boat section @ wal-mart, they have them. They are white, and made by attwood. you should have 3 different hoses, ones for the belig, one for the ski locker, and one that drains by the fuel selector valve behind the drivers right foot.
also you will need some plastic 3/4" hose couplers to join the hoses together to make them long enough.

You are talking about the corrugated drain hoses... he's talking about the Little 1/4" lines that hook to the pump, and draw water out of the bilge.

Since you have a 95... please look in your engine compartment, at the transom. Where your pump is... you will see your main cooling line coming in at about the 2 O'clock position. Please tell me if you see 2 small hoses coming though at 12 O'clock.

As far as I know, the sport boats don't use them, but I also know the 95 and and older boats had a bunch of differences.

Sorry Dr. Honda, My bad. There is only one syphon tube (12.5mm) that go's to the pump, @ 1:00 o'clock, the 2 @ 12:00 are blocked off. The one at 1:00 o'clock Y's off at the other end oppisite the pump. One (12.5) go's into the tuned pipe, the other (8mm) to the exaust cone. One of the (2) 6mm (1/4) tubing goes from the top of the tuned pipe to the other end of the exhaust cone near the exhaust hose. The other 6mm tube go's from the bottom of the exhaust manifold to the through haul exhaust outlet.

Thanks shakedown. The hose at 1 O'clock is your cooling water. The 2 that are blocked off are the siphon ports.

Hey 80newhave... you shouldn't have the hoses you are asking about. You should have a regular bilge pump between the engine and the fuel tank.
