    I'm an Idiot... Where do my carb hoses go?

    So I just took off, cleaned, and bench synced my carbs ('82 GS850GL), which was my first rebuild/clean ever. I just went to re-install the carb and I am at a loss to which hose goes where. The clymer manual was no help. Using the Carb-cleaning pdf from the GSResources here are my hoses:

    2 x "Vent T"
    1 x "Fuel Inlet"
    1 x "Vacuum Port"

    I would assume the fuel inlet goes to the large fitting on the petcock.
    I think the vacuum port goes to the small fitting on the petcock.
    There is a large tube coming from the top of the engine which is not connected to anything now (maybe the Vent T goes here, but there are 2 Vent Ts). Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The large tube comming from the engine hooks to your airbox if you have one, if not then you need to put a filter on it. The tube that hooks from the second carb from the left goes to the petcock.

      Well, the vent tubes are just that...they just vent...so they simply route downwards towards the ground. The large tube that comes out of the top of the engine connects to the similarly sized port on your airbox. Fuel line should be pretty self evident...but I'm having a hard time remembering where the vacuum line runs...errrr.....it goes on the only port left? lol.

        Fuel T. To the petcock. OK

        Large tube from engine to airbox. Cool.

        Vents. Just stick a tube on them and they don't attach to anything else.

        Vacuum Port to the petcock small fitting. OK

        I think thats its. Thanks everyone.
