    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where Do these hoses go?

I have just recently started restoring a 1981 GS850, its just starting to run, but I have two hoses disconnected that I cant seem to find where they go, I'm Using a Clymer service and repair manual for the bike and cant seem to find them in it.

There is a hose on the fuel tank sending unit, that I am unsure where it goes, and a hose underneath on the bottom of the air cleaning/filter box.

I have scoured the service manual to find where they go, but have come up empty handed, if anyone has any information on these, it would be greatly appreciated!
 
As far as I know both of those are overflow/drain hoses and they should just be routed to where they won't drip on anything (except the ground).

I agree that the hose from the fuel sending unit/gauge is probably just an overflow...it is on my bike.

The hose on the air box, however, I'm not so sure. Reason being that the engine "breather" hose on my bike runs to the air box. Something to consider until you receive an expert answer.
 
The hose on the top of the air box goes to the valve cover as a breather. But the one on the bottom is just a drain for, say, when one of your floats sticks and gas comes pouring into the airbox.
 
Okay, I had wondered about them, and suspected that they were overflows, thats a bit of a burden off my back now!

thanks!
