There should be two hoses that come from the petcock to the carbs. The smaller one is the vacuum line and will go to the engine side of carb #3 (they are numbered from left to right, that is, clutch hand to throttle hand), the larger one is the fuel line and goes to the T between 2&3. There will be two other hoses that go to the airbox side of carbs 2 & 4, they just drape back over the airbox into the battery area. They are vent hoses and do not connect to anything. Then there are (or should be) the four hoses that connect to the bottoms of the carbs, they are the overflows and should be routed where they will not dump gas onto the tire.

thanks for the help guys, It's been a few months since i took the bike apart, all i have left is putting the carb back in and I paniced when I realized my service manual was missing, forgot there was so many hoses connected to the carb. where is a good place to route the overflow lines? Seems like anywhere out the bottom is a good place to get on the tires. Thanks again for the helpLast edited by Guest; 08-06-2010, 11:49 PM.Comment

So long as your float levels are correct, and your petcock doesnt fail, the overflows are only precautionary... And should never vent gas if everything is working as it should. I usually route them out down to the swingarm pivot (take care that there is no way for them to get pinched) and try to direct them so that IF something does overflow, its not doing it all over the rear wheel directly... that *could* get hairy given the wrong circumstances.. but pretty much any place that you can neatly route them so they point to the ground is where id go..Originally posted by traviseckley View PostComment
