    GS850 CV carb rebuild question

    I'm just rebuilding my carbs after having them in pieces on the bench for weeks. There's just one thing I can't remember, how are the two vent tubes and the fuel line routed? Do they route in front of, or behind, the long strip of metal that links the carbs together at the top.

    Thanks

    All 3 come from in front of the rear bracket. Photo here:



    Easy to put them on with the carbs off the bike, not so easy when they're fitted.

                      Saw some of those at carquest or some such. They're so 'cute' and prob better than straight air eh?

                          When mine are routed, you can't even see them.

                          Generally speaking, they are not sucking, they are not blowing. They are only an atmosperic reference for the float bowls.
                          They need to be in non-turbulent air for the carbs to properly meter the fuel.
