    do you need to run the breathers up into the airbox like a normal carb for deep creek/river crossings? only short little breathers on there stock, easy enough to whack some longer ones on if need be

    No but they should be shipping with long overflow tubes that go up and overt he top of the carb and back down the other side and them lots of length to under the bike. I asked them to build them this way a long time ago. If it is not that way please replace the overflow tubes with long ones and run them up and over the top of the carb.

    Mine also came with the short hoses. What is the reason for having to run them over the top of the carb?

    will do Kelly. got this carb off ya probably 6-8 months ago so maybe pre requesting them to put longer ones on there. no biggy mate. by running them up & over the carb will this prevent the bike snuffin out in deep water(like nearly airbox height-carb totally submerged!) or am I better still to run them up into the airbox & obviously pointing down still?

    Yes, it will help a lot with water crossings.

    First hand experiance taught me that the Lectron as all other carbs will stop the bike from running if the vent hoses are submerged for a prolonged period of time.
    I rode along a small stream/ditch and the bike died just like it was running out of fuel so I ran the breathers high and the problem vanished.
    This is my setup that make the bike a submarine.

    Are they breathers or overflows? Or both?

    I bought mine used right here in the classifieds but it is a standard universal product you can purchase from a dealer.

    I received the short vent hoses on my Lectron. Anyone have any other photos of their vent hose setup.
    Thanks

    Recently? I addressed this with them long ago and should be coming with long ones. I will readdress this with them, thanks.

    Not a Lectron but should be routed up over the carb (like this pic) then down about a foot below the carb.

    OK thanks. Confirmed today all Motosportz spec'ed carbs are sent out with the longer tubes.
