My brother was disassembling some of the lines on my bike to clean them up. The problem now is he doesn't remember how the line that comes out of the fuel tank connects to the bike. I looked in the manual with no luck. Anyone with a CFMoto v5 250 able to take a picture of how/where it connects? We would really appreciate any help.
Thanks all!
PS. we know which hose connects to the carburetor but there's another hose similar in size to the one that goes to the carburetor, where does this go? Also there are larger tubes, i need to find out where these go to.

I owned one for about 5 minutes, but I do remember that it was gravity fed with a vacuum petcock, it should be pretty simple to figure out the lines.

the vacuum line runs from the petcock to a tee, one side runs to the engine and the other to the evap canister  |

Hey guys... back again. We never figured this issue out and I just parked the bike in the garage. Can anyone give me a play by play as to where these tubes from the carb go to? I have no experience and my brother isn't being of any help but I would love to ride again and get to know how to fix this puppy.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

alpha sports has a diagram of it. the vacuume line goes from the intake manifold to the fuel cock and the fuel line goes from the fuel cock to the fuel filter then to the carb. /21.gif) number 12 is the fuel cock. number 2 is the vacuume line. number 17 is the fuel line. |

if the carb is gravity fed like mentioned above, then it's a simple matter to deal with.
there are 2 or 3 nipples on the carb.
one is the fuel inlet located somewhere on the float bowl.
one is a water inlet from the radiator, and is not really needed.
one is the vacuum operated air cutoff valve.
i replaced the fuel valve with a manual shutoff valve because my ride couldn't maintain the vacuum at WOT to keep the valve open.

Hey dollartwentyfive, where did you get the manual valve? I'm gonna switch mine also cause I have the same problem and install a shutoff valve near the seat opening for when I'm not riding.

NAPA. it was a briggs and stratton valve and can probably be purchased at any small engine shop. there is a drawback to using a manual valve. namely, forgetting to shut it off after a ride. an open fuel valve, sticky float needle, and an open intake vale could result in an engine full of gas. i've used a manual valve for about 3 years, and have occasionally forgotten to shut it off and have had no problems, but don't ever forget the risks involved. i would like to find an electrically operated valve. |
