    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb Hoses

Hello folks, I'm restoring an 82 GS850L and have a question. I can't seem to figure out where the hose is that goes to the fuel level component on the tank or where it would go. It's the last item I have left before starting the bike. I'm lost. It may be laying here in the shop, but I still couldn't tell you where it would connect to. Does anyone have or know where I could find a diagram that I could follow. Non of my manuals addresses it.

Thanks :confused:
 
If the seal on the fuel level unit fails, the hose is there to port fuel away from the motor. Attach a long piece of fuel hose to the nipple on the sending unit. Route the other end back along the frame, then down somewhere in front of the battery box. There should be a rectangular slot behind the tranny for this & other hoses & wires.
 
If you're referring to the gas guage, its electric. There is no hose to it, just two wires.

It'll be the longest vent tube you have lying around (for now-obvious reasons) and, yes, you want it on there as mentioned earlier.

On the GS850GLZ the factory routed the hose along the right side of the frame, past the battery box, then along the bottom of the plastic portion of the rear fender. The plastic fender has a channel and tabs that hold the hose in place, in the channel and under the tabs.... The hose ends near where the chrome part of the fender starts, way beyond the shock mount.
