Coolant hoses on Carburator

[Freck]

Hi.
My brother got a leak on a coolant hose (See picture)
We have replaced the hose and now it is working fine.
My question is: What does the coolant do on the carbs?


Bye the way, the inlet rubbers on the carbs dont look good, is replacement needed?

I take it you mean why is there coolant going to the carbs. I can't say for definite but some manufacturers do this to prevent carb icing.
The Venturi effect of the jets/carb intake sucking in air can cause ice to form and cause fuel starvation. The water jacket in the carb will warm it to stop the ice forming.


As for your rubbers, yep, I'd definitely get some new ones
