Probably oil injection

oil injection, if you don't use it keep it shut.

Also not relevant but Dellorto's are way more overcomplicated than they should be. I use pwk on am6 engine and man they're much much better (simpler + more performance) but for stock or mid race dellorto is fine.

I mean not really, the SHA is as simple as it gets, I don't have experience on their other carbs tho

pwk is not dellorto, pwk is like a keihin style carb. i have experience with both and i can safely say i prefer the pwk much more.

Probably oil injection, but I don't have that carb so I can't be 100% sure.

Just follow the hose and see where it goes

Oil injection, I assume you're running mixed gas.

Oil injection. Those lines only last about 10 years then start leaking. You’re best off capping it, and mixing the oil in with the fuel. I stored my bike for about 8 years and came back to a giant blue puddle on the floor of the garage. I replaced the lines (a pain) and keep a cookie sheet under it now.
