There are two lines from the petcock to the carbs. The smaller one is the vacuum line that turns on the petcock, it goes to a nipple on the top of the outlet of carb #3 (remember that the cylinders are numbered from left to right, that is, clutch hand to throttle hand). The larger line from the petcock goes to a "T" between carbs 2&3. There are vent lines between carbs 1&2 and 3&4, they just go up and back, usually over the airbox, to the battery area, they don't get connected to anything. You may also have overflow tubes on the float bowls, they get routed down the back of the engine and positioned so they won't drip any fuel on the exhaust pipes.
