Get me a diagram: Please!

[Mic]

I have used the search for the last hour and can't find a diagram of the fuel hoses for a GS650E 1982. PLEASE HELP. Describing the stuff doesn't help. I need pictures Is there an artist amongst us who can scratch out something to see?

Freakin sweet, I was wondering where some pics were. The PO before me has the vaccume line blocked off since my petcock is old and drips constantly. Cant wait untill friday(i get my new petcock) then I will see how the bike runs after that.

OK got it. but check this out. WTF is this about!

[Nessism]

That T is not supposed to be there - some sort of misconceived monkey mod.

...some sort of misconceived monkey mod.

Misconceived Monkey Mod...sometimes know as an M³

Eliminate the T. It should be a single length of fuel line between the petcock and carbs.

I would replace that tee with a good high-flow fuel filter.

WTF is this about!

Getting some gas for the lawn mower or starting a wienie roast fire.

Thanks all you folks! I plugged it off until I get a High flow fuel filter! NOW, ive gotten it started :-) and it Runs… really really HIGH RPM at idle. So high that it doesn't even go into gear. what now? i have turned the idle screw all the way back, to make NO difference. So where does the problem lie now?
The bike was non-running and had aftermarker velocity stacks, with which the bike wouldn't start . So, i replaced the VS's with the stock air box voila. It RUNS, as I stated really High rpms. where do I go from here?

[Taliesin]

Well, I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but you COULD have a huge air intake leak causing the high idle.

With many people, these air intake leaks start small, and often show up only when the bike is warm. (When things expand, etc.) You, however, could have a larger leak.

Try checking the boots that go from the carbs to the cylinder head. (Intake Boots.) There are some o-rings that go between those and the cylinder intake as well, which might need to be replaced. (If you replace them, you can get them from http://www.cycleorings.com.)
