My mech told me the cylinder holds excess engine oil (don't know how true it is, but oil leaks around that part at most of the times).

So basically, the hole with the cross (2) should remain as it is: open.
Ok that does clear things up some more, however as far as I know, there is no pipe connected to hole 1. So I guess I have to get the mechanic to fix it up by putting in a pipe. What is inside the black rectangular box? Is there a filter in there that I should clean?

Also any ideas as to how I can test the horn and how it is supposed to be correctly wired up?

ah! my bad, its a older 500, hence you named it as classic. LB is the machismo 500 which was launched later a.k.a LB - Lean Burn Engine

The Classic I was referring to was the Q5 - Royal Enfield Classic - The Classic is Reborn

Can you please post a pic of the area between the RH box and rectangular one? I hope I can point out the pipe (its thicker than a pipre, rather a hose).

As for the horn, mine(stock) has two wires attached to it. If your is having a single wire, then other terminal could be grounded. Damn, electricals...never liked it.

EDIT: If horn is working, use another battery and connect the positive directly to the terminal with the wire.

I checked the bike, there is only one very small hose leaving the RH toolbox. My father mentioned something about not having it connected to the emmission control thing or something. Anyway I'll get a mechanic to look at it.

As for the horn, the horn itself has a red and a purple wire attached to it. The horn button only has a purple. But there is a red wire that goes up into that section so maybe I have to solder the red wire to the other end of the button.

Yes, it's a 2004 model. What is the correct title? I call it Classic because it's not a Machismo or any of those other ones. It's just the straight 500 and as far as I know it's the closest to the original Enfields.

Sorry if its against the rules to double post, but no one is replying anymore.

I've decided not to do any more work on the bike until I have taken it to a good repair shop and had it fixed up. From there I'll begin to do other work myself, but right now there are just too many things to do.

Now I need some help with prices. I'm planning to go to Delhi soon and I need approximate prices for certain parts.

How many rupees for:

Accelerator, Clutch and Decompression Cables?
Air/Petrol Filters or any other filters I might need?
Horn?

Thanks

The red should be +ve and purple should be ground through the switch. Ground the Purple wire terminal of the horn and it should blow. If not, check the red wire if it is supplying +12V. Even if horn does not work, its faulty.

Edit - Shouldn't this be in "Help Me" section?
