350X carb vent lines - where to route?

[RichinMO]

got my 350X all together and went out for a shakedown ride. Went to cross a creek and as soon as the water got up above the shifter, it died. When I pulled it back to shore, there was a lot of gas in the airbox. Treated it like it was flooded and it finally started and ran fine after that (no more water).

My carb vent lines were all ran down behind the motor to the back edge of the engine skid, so they were all in the water. Is that what caused it to die? The Honda service manual doesnt show a clear view or drawing of the carb vent lines and thier routing. I'm guessing the line that comes off the left side of the carb is supposed to be up in the air somewhere, it is the only one with no fuel residue on the end. Can someone please help with this.

I also replaced the 2 caps and seals on the left side case over the alternator in case thats what it was.

Rip off the vent hoses and ride the creek again and see what happens.

I think I routed mine down to the right hand side of the swinger, theres actually a square bracket there for them.

it sounds like you routed them correctly. i doubt that is what caused it to die. i have had my 350X submerged in water to the muddle of the gas tank. if it was a "shackdown" ride like you said it may have just been flooded. i would try it again and see if it repeats itself.
