carb problem need help

i have an 07 wolverine 450 the carb has a float breather and everytime i take it through mud or anything it gets clogged and barely runs the first time it happend i had to bring it to the dealer and the second time i just squeezed the water out of the breather im not sure what i can do to prevent this

oh and alot of people think im talking about the drain tube from the bowl but it is another breather on top of the carb it is a mikuni 33 mm bsr carb and right now i have the line run up into the storage compartment where all the wires are so maybe it will work unless water and mud get in there

You did the right thing by running it up.If you have some more hose,make it a little longer and put a loop in it.That will put an air pocket in the hose and will save you if you by chance go that deep or roll it under water.If you plan on playing in deep water or mud then I suggest running all your breather lines from your carb up to the handle bar pod

awesome man thank you i was thinking of that but that is a lot of work to get it up there i would think.. is this a common problem or is it just that model carb that has that breather line also this might sound stupoid but will the gas fumes being next to the wires hurt anything

YO WASSUP I HAVE AN 06 IM I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HELP ME OUT,WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIX IT?

i just re routed the line into the storage compartment and looped it like scribner said to create an air pocket so far no problem

yeah i guess mines had gotten to much crap inside by the time i relocated it so im gonna take out my carb and clean it

yeah once the damage is done its done make sure you dont run it to much with it running like that it will run real lean and burn up the piston

I guess i've just been lucky, i haven't had a problem with mine yet. (yet being the key word)

well i drive mines in the mud alot so my vent line sucked up alot of crap. so i have to open my carb and clean it and i even put a small valve cover breather on the line even though i already put it under the seat.

gezz, i guess this is whats wrong with mine(

explain your problem

its under the thread "Buried" (

actually i dont see another tube,from the carb, just the one that runs around one side to the other..its on top?

The hose they are talking about is a breather line coming from the side of the carb.It will be about a 1/4in hose running up.The hose that goes from side to side is a breather line for the vacum slide.

The breather line should be on the left side of the carb also.

ahh

so any solutions so far besides running it under the seat or into the airbox?ive read on atv connection that the float inside the carb gets stuck

Ever since your post..i took my line and ran it into the air box..no problems...no drowning out or anything like that,but..I havent took it on the moto x trac like last time either..seems like that would have been the problem ( the float getting stuck)...b/c the last time it happened i went over the quick bumps on the track..the ^^^^^^^^^..almost half way it shook the wolvie so bad..it spuddered.

yeah the wolvy at high speeds in bumpy roads acts up
