    Another vacuum hose mystery!!!

    Great web site! Amazing amount of info! I have a 1979 GS 1000 that had the tank off when I bought it, and for the life of me, I can not see where the vacuum for the gas tap comes from. There are 3 smaller outlets that appear to be vents for the float bowels, but no outlet on the carbs or the manifolds appears to be vacuum. I have gone thru your site and numerous manuals and parts books but to no avail. Any help would be great! Thanks, Spanner

    The one on #3 is the vacuum, the one on #2 and #4 are float bowl vents. They look identical, but they are drilled differently inside.

      Like tkent02 said the vacuum is on # 3 carb counting from the left side of the bike. I ran into the same problem. The'78 gs1000 I bought had 2 of those plugged up and nothing going to the petcock. Took me a couple of days of searching to find some answers but I found them here.

          Simply Amazing!

          Thanks for the help! It was exactly as you described; I never would have gotten that from the parts book or shop manual! Regards, Spanner
