ing through a cable strap loosely installed around the front of
the frame backbone (the first of three equally spaced cable
straps moving front to rear). From this point, the vent tube fol-
lows the main harness through a large hole in the front
engine mounting bracket (just rear of the two lateral holes
described earlier). Continuing rearward, the tube follows the
bottom left side of the frame backbone running inboard of the
crankcase breather hose. Moving outboard of the breather
hose just in front of the ignition coil, the tube follows the igni-
tion module conduit down the left side of the frame backbone
and passes through the loop formed by the hose connected
to the oil drain/return fitting. The tube enters an opening at
the front of the passenger foot peg support where it is runs
rearward to connect to the upper fitting at the back of the
charcoal canister. One cable strap is used to connect the
"carb" and "tank" vent tubes together at the back of the canis-
ter, while another secures both tubes to the PCV outlet hose
at the front of the canister.

Figure 4-29. Hose Routing (Left Side View)
On non-California models, the end of the "tank" vent tube
gets routed through the slot at the front of the tail section and
then into the cavity on the inboard side of the battery box
(alongside the transmission vent hose), while the "carb" vent
tube (purge tube) is absent.
Purge Tube
The purge tube is connected to a fitting on the inboard side of
the carburetor, where it passes to the right side of the vehicle
just behind the ignition coil. From this point, the tube runs
rearward following the same path as the hose to charcoal
canister (front fitting), except that it is connected to the lower
fitting at the back of the canister.
