Hi all,

I'm new Mighty Boy owner, just got a '88 500cc one. Been driving it around a little bit over the last few days and noticed that there's a fuel smell in the cabin - had a look around and found this tube behind the passenger seat was disconnected:

Is this guy supposed to connect up somewhere? Any help is appreciated.

Yes mate,

you need to route the hose backwards along the side of the car and connect it to the nipple attached to the petrol refilling hose. Just remove the tray inspection covers and it is a 5 minutes job.

Sweet, thanks for the help. Strangely I found that the hose was too short to reach the nipple thingo in it's standard place so I had to unscrew it and move it closer to reach. I think tomorrow I'll try and attach another piece of hose so that it can all fit nicely and screwed in.
