Ruckus carburetor coolant lines

[edtech48]

Just bought a non-working 2008 Ruckus, my first one. It was missing several key pieces including a stock carburetor. A stock Keihin carb is now installed but there are two coolant lines coming out of the carb front. What do these hoses connect to? Apologies for the simple question but I can't find an explanation or image that shows what these hoses connect to. Thanks for the assist.



2008 Honda Ruckus carb coolant tubes. Where do they attach?

After poring over Ruckus parts diagrams I found the answer to my own question. When looking at the carb from the front, the right tube has a hose that attaches to the top of the crankcase. The left tube has a hose that attaches to the thermostat cover on the water pump. Apparently the coolant assists in warming the carb in cooler temps. They aren't necessary for the bike to run and can be bypassed by running a hose from the crankcase tube directly to the thermostat cover tube.
