2000 M750 - carburetor heaters (electric)

[yosso]

While doing a R&R of the carburetors to the check float heights I managed to break off the bullet connector  for the carburetor heater...and after looking over the carburetor it appears as if the other side was already broken off and a "fix" with a spade connector was implemented...

What would it hurt if I simply plugged both holes or simply didn't plug in the heating units?

I'm attaching a picture of the broken heating elements ($57.90 each at the dealer).



I actually have an extra set of carburetors, but they don't have any heating units and the holes are in place, but aren't tapped.

Thanks for reading.

Depending on the temps at which you ride...

nothing may happen.

I've only run into issues running flatslides (on a 900) in close to below freezing temps and high humidity (yeah, I used to think 40 degrees and raining was good riding weather)

I'm with DP, nothing will probably happen. And all that might happen is it'll run crappy, not ice up and die.

Appreciate the feedback and I shall simply leave it all off and pull the fuse on the specific circuit.
