Diagram of vaccum lines on carbs

[danrpat]

Hey all,

Looking for a diagram of how the vacuum lines on an '85 GS1150 ES carbs (California Version) hook up. The Clymer book doesn't show where they go and all the parts diagrams I have found only show them up to the tee, not where it goes from there. I also got to find a new tee as I broke one of the fittings off of it and it is a discontinued part..

Thanks in advance....

There is only 1 vacuum line, the smallest line, it goes to the petcock. there is 1 fuel line, it also goes to the petcock. The other two are vent lines, they come up and over the air box and just end there, under the seat one on each side of the air box. Not critical where they end, as long as they aren't stopped up.

For the fuel ??? T fitting are hard to find used. www.motorcyclecarbs.com can make one for you about $35-$40

Don't think we are thinking of the same setup. I have the fuel line no problem. Got the vaccum line to the petcock, no problem. Got two vent lines just above the fuel bowls, but there are four other lines that come off of each carb to this five port tee, four side ones and one top one that has a metal clip like the ones that hold cables in place around the top port. There are two (what I assume are charcoal canasters), one under the tank and one under the seat. Thanks for the info though.

The canisters are california emissions control regulations for motorcycles.Check with your local dealer on this issue to find out what mods were done for your state and where those line go .

Thanks for all the info. I got a diagram from Bruce and got it all hooked up. Started her yesterday and she sounds wicked!! Problem one solved. Now I got an oil leak on the left side cover to fix and exhaust header to clean up and paint. But that is all part of the fun I guess.. Look for future questions from this newbie.... Thanks again..
