Doing final assembly after carb rebuild on my '79 GS1000E. Is there a vacuum tube between carbs #2 & #3? Pics I took don't show it clearly. I know there are the short tubes between 1 & 2, and between 3 & 4, but there are the same ports (maybe undrilled?) between 2 & 3. I put a hose there, but it seems to be in the way of the throttle return spring. No problem to cut it out if I don't need it. Thanks!

Those are not "vacuum" tubes, they are "vent" tubes.
There should be a tube between 1&2, then there is a longer tube that connects to the nipple on #2. There should be another tube between 3&4, the longer tube connects to the nipple on #4. There should be nothing between 2&3.
The nipple on #3 is the vacuum fitting that should connect to your petcock.

This tube...........
The black tube behind the idle screw. Should it be there? Uses the same ports as the short, (like 1/2" long) tubes that are between 1 & 2, and 3 & 4. Not the 3 longer, smaller tubes that go to the petcock and atmosphere.Comment

That tube isn't needed between 2&3. You noticed that they are undrilled and your eyes aren't playing tricks on you.Comment

That's better!
I always save my old parts until the job is complete, and there was no old tube for here. Just wanted to verify. Thanks! Time for the bench sync.Comment
