    My guess is the mystery hose is for a vaccum guage to balance,synch and tuning of the carbs.Is it "Y" branched and running to the 2 brass ports on the top of both carbs?? I know I am a few yrs.late to the party here with my comment.😅

    I have a 1991 phazer 2 st starts nice runs up to 4500rpm and won’t go past that. Carbs cleaned tors bypassed any ideas smells rich as can be.

      My phazers do this stupid thing where they run like crap for the first few minutes until they warm up, almost like the plugs need to get hot to fire every time. I've read that's a common thing with phazers so maybe yours just needs to warm up a bit more

      @@adaminthemitten8940 didn’t matter hot or cold. I cleaned everything over and over including cleaned the air box well I took the air box out and just had the carbs on it. I fired it up and I be damned if it don’t run great. Any ideas? I wouldn’t mind buying a set of carbs if I could find some. I just can’t believe how rich it runs. Then pull air box and bam runs fine? I know the air box flows free and clear. So what gives? It’s just crazzy

      I'm not sure on that, but it seems that something is misadjusted or worn out, adding the airbox would let the engine build more vacuum and that would pull more fuel into the engine, so it kinda makes sense that the airbox makes it run rich

    Our 91' Phazer gave up on us this weekend. I'm thinking 'twas the oil pump that did it. Where do you get most of your spares?

      They do not and the low center of gravity doesnt help when you're trying to lean. But they are light and easy to maneuver despite that

    I had picked up a 84 Phazer back in 91 and it had been sunk in a pond at some point and the crank bearings started singing and after rebuilding the engine the exhaust got plugged up and I put a DG pipe on it and no problems with it for several years and ofcourse the kid I sold it to broke the rear axle because he forgot to read the repair manual I gave him telling you that the axle is left hand thread and the kid said FU you I want my money back

      Well actually it´s AAEN, it comes from the last name of the guy that started AAEN Performance, Olav Aaen from Norway if I remember correctly. In Sweden we pronounce it Ån and in english/american it would be like the word pawn (like in Pawnshop) but without the P...
