    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.

Those carb hoses?

Trying to get everything ready to finish the '78 GS750 restoration in the Spring. I know I need to replace all the rubber hoses, but I'm a bit confused about the connections. The attached pic shows the blue connector that is the fuel in from the tank petcock and the green vents on each of the four float bowls. The three red connections are my problem - I assume one (or more) of these must run to the vacuum connector on the fuel petcock?

Can someone please clarify!

Hard to tell from the photos but the outer carbs have vents and the inner has a vacuum port. The vents interconnect between carbs so check the passages.
 
On the GS1000 VM carbs the vacuum is on the #3 carb. Your 750 should be the same. If you put a piece of hose on it to blow through and compare it to the others you'll see the difference.
 
The center red connector is your vacuum port that goes to the petcock.

The other two are the vent lines that go back over the airbox and just lay there. They are not connected to anything else.

Photo below is from my old 550's carbs. Vents are the outer tubes. Large tube in center is for fuel and smaller hose is vacuum.
