Hi guys im taking my carbs apart for a good cleaning. new needle & seat & float height check but noticed something very weird. Both carbs have a brass tube inserted into them right next two where the carb boot to the reeds goes. This tube is pointed slightly downward. & stops about the center of the carb bore. these brass tubes are connected via a t & goes directly to the oil pump.?? I have another set of carbs im told are from a 96xt they don't have the tubes. But interesting note these other carbs have small bosses on the outside as well & have a little dimple in the middle to start a drill bit? My 94 vmax 600 has the oil line going to the fuel pump. as does my v max 4. Now I would say this seems to be very well done so I don't think it was done by a backyard mechanic, so it think its factory but for this sled???? maybe something newer? good or bad. Maybe I should put the other carbs on? I would really appreciate any input. I mean any input. only other note is the machine has near 145 psi compression. maybe thinner head gasket by previous owner . other mods???
Thanks
Kevin
