Carbon canister plumbing

[jaw777]

Anyone determine a good place to mount the charcoal canister? The OEM is obnoxiously large and I don't want to buy another. And are there any requirements like it has to be mounted above or below the tank valve?

Thanks

It's from a Yamaha scooter - cost me about $20 on eBay.

Working on fuel lines and evap stuff today and still a little confused. if I plug the evap line (one of the three coming from the top of the motor) and remove the solenoid and valve and plug all those lines on the manifold then where does my carbon canister go? on the tank vent line? I am looking for a simple way to do this with one of the homeade charcoal canisters.

or

if I leave the evap system then where does that evap line coming from the top of the motor go to? the carbon can? so this carbon can would have two inlets and one outlet (essentially a hose to atmosphere) the inlets coming from the motor evap line and the tank vent line?

this is a schematic of what my homeade carbon can plumbing would look like. does anyone see an issue plumbing it like this? the evap line (when the engine tells it to) would pull air up thru the line that says to atmoshere. i would think it would be the path of least resistance when comparing to pulling it from the tank vent line.

How does this work for you? Is it large enough to handle the demands of the motor so far?
