New to this forum, but an old Guzzi owner from way back (MKIII LeMans days). First a 'hello' to all and a big thanks for all I've learned so far from reading many posts.
My question/problem involves the removal of the Evap system from my 2009 V7 Classic. I bought the bike a few weeks ago, and like it very much. I've read a few post here and other sites on the Evap removal process, and this morning, have done the job. However, I am now getting pressure building up in the gas tank, and the one hose I left remaining, is making a 'honking' or groaning sound after I shut off the hot engine. (and some fumes coming out). This remaining hose is the one from the tank that originally went into to cannister. I was of a mind to just let that last hose remain as a standard 'vent' hose. Looking at the schematic in the owners manual, (and verified by my bike), that hose has a pressure valve in it. Do I need to eliminate that valve? Is that why I'm getting pressure in my tank?
The 'T' hose that connected the throttle bodies to the cannister has been removed, and I ran a clear plastic tubing between the throttle bodies directly. I did this because I could not remove the connectors on the throttle bodies, as they would only turn a bit before hitting the cylinder heads.
The hose coming from the 'outlet' side of the cannister to the airbox has been eliminated, leaving a small opening in the side of the airbox. Should this be closed off, or just left open?
Thanks in advance for any replies/advice!
