    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

1981 GS850G unknown black hose

Hello all, hope someone can help. I have black hose and a grey hose running to the petcock under my fuel tank. Those are connected correctly, one is a fuel line and one is a vacuum line. I also noticed another black hose running along the air box that seems to go up to the tank and is cradled by a bracket of some sort on the tank. Oddly enough it has a clamp on it, but I cannot figure out where it connects to, as their is nothing in reaching distance of it. Anyone know what this is? Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mr. Polishpower77,

Have a look at these:

Where Do These Hoses Go?

Fuel Gauge Send Unit Repair
(by Mr. Jethro)

These PDF file should have enough pictures and explanations to get you familiar with all the hoses in that area. You'll find lots of GS850G goodness on my little website (link below).

Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Thanks kParkfan for the response, that could be it... and BassCliff, wow what a welcome, much appreciated! Thanks buddy. I will definetely check out your links, suggestions, site, etc. Awesome, thanks.:clap:
 
Yeah, it's most likely going to be the fuel gauge sending unit overflow.
 
Oddly enough I do not have any hoses running from the fuel gauge sending unit under the tank? Are they necessary? I ran the bike last fall just fine, not having anything connected. Let me know fellas... Thanks.
 
It would be a good idea to have it hooked up just in case the fuel sending unit decides to dump fuel all on top of your hot motor. :eek: I've had a bike catch fire while riding and it isn't any fun. :o
