Fuel tank question

[dcompton1994]

Hey,
Just got a 1982 GS1100GK from my Dad, and it has quite a few problems. One is, it didn't have the tank connected, and i know where the fuel connects, but there are two other nipples, one connects to the vacuum, but i do not know where the vacuum line is on the bike, and i'm not sure what the other is for... and my local motorcycle mechanic isn't very helpful, so any and all info is helpful.... hopefully i don't sound too stupid, but i don't know much about motorcycles.
Thanks Again!

The vacuum line nipple is on the #2 carb (2nd from left when sitting on the bike). The other nipple should be from the fuel sending unit. This is just a safety drain hose in case the fuel sending unit leaks. Attach a hose to the nipple and route it safely down to the ground, but away from the rear wheel in case it starts to dump gas.

Cliff should be around soon to welcome you to the forum. In the mean time please check out his web site for lots of great info. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
