Carb lines, where do they go? and a mystery plug

[tqmx1]

OK, one more question. Is there any reason for the long unfiltered hoses or could they be clipped off under the carbs. They seem to end up in one of the filthier areas of the FJ

In theory, you could just clip them off and it would not affect anything.  However, these lines can occasionally leak fuel if the level in the float bowl is bad (stuck float).  So, just like the breather lines, they are routed around to the rear of the engine to avoid dumping fuel on a hot motor. 

Not sure if right in front of the rear tire is all that better, but it's probably the best place to prevent turning an FJ into a chunk of melted metal.

Hey David, are you still selling carb parts? I emailed you a while back but never heard anything back.

Since I got the carbs out, i think i want to replace as many parts as i can. since it all looks to be in pretty dirty condition. a lot of gunk for only 19k miles.
