If you want to get rid of the EVAP SYSTEM with its Canister and hoses to simplify the Venting of the gas tank and have less potential problems do the following:
1. Disconnect the hose at the CANISTER that is coming from the gas tank.
2. Get a Fuel Filter and zip tie it high on the frame(IT HAS TO VENT SO NO KINKS).
***IMPORTANT*** Make sure the hose is higher than where it is connected to the Tank.
Reason is this, the fuel is sloshing inside the tank and if you overfill it gas goes inside the VENT hose and gas fills up your canister and ruins it. But the real problem is now the Canister is plugged up, the Charcoal is soaked with gas and the Gas Tank cannot vent and if enough pressure is built up inside the tank it may not allow fuel to flow out of the tank to feed your carb.
Do not understand why a simple fix is not done at the factory. Put the canister higher than the Vent Outlet on the gas tank and you know eliminated another potential problem with an easy fix.
3. Follow the VACUUM LINE hooked to the CANISTER BACK and plug it up at its ORIGIN.
4. If the Other hose on the Canister is going to the Air Filter or Air Filter tubing take the hose off where it connects and plug that connector up.
Now you have less hoses and less problems you can put the canister away and extra hoses along with it.
