    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

This is a question I feel embarrassed asking...but its not in my service manual.... there are 3 black T splitters. One between each carb. there is a port molded into one of the carbs. I got this bike with the carb off and I need to know how to hook up the fuel and vac, lines. I need to know which is which. :cry: :?: PLease help!
e-mail me if you want: bearnogin@yahoo.com
thanks
 
I'm sure someone here can help, but you need to be a little more specific - what bike are we talking about? Any information is good :!:
 
The T's between carbs 1-2 and 3-4 are overboard vents in case the carbs flood. The T between carbs 2-3 is for fuel. The port on the carb ( is it #2?) is for vacuum to the petcock ( the smaller of the 2 on the petcock is vacuum)

Yep Bill got it right. The 2 outside vent tubes can just be directed back over the carbs and then down. The middle one gets connected to the larger of the 2 tubes coming off of the petcock. Put a fuel filter in there somewhere. The tube coming off of the #2 carb is the vacuum line for the petcock. If you dont hook it up you will not get fuel to flow when your petcock is set on prime or on. Hope this helps.

Yes, here is a paper bag!
 
Talking about heads and doctors:

A Harley rider sees a doctor. The Harley rider has a frog sitting on his head.
The doctor says: ''What's the problem?''.
''Well'', says the frog, ''I have this awful swelling on my butt''.
