85 GS550ES fuel line routing??????

[Anonymous]

I have an 85 gs550es, and I took the carbs off and cleaned them. When re-installing them, I am confused on where the lines go. On my tank, I have a vent tube at the front, that runs to the bottom of the bike, I have a port that looks like a vacume diaphram on a car, and I have the reserve and main fuel line from the gas pitcock,..... my confusion is, I have lines going from the front of each carb to ???where? I assume the line going from the rear side of the right carb is my main fuel line, but I have no idea where the two lines coming from the front inside side of the carb goes... I am pretty sure I have the main and reserve lines in the correct place, the vent is obviously correct, and the line going from the vacume module should also be correct.... now, I am out of places to put these two lines, and am stuck..... any info would help. I do not have a book on the bike yet due to having to order it with a 2 week lead time. any info would help!

Yep vents, they route up and back and sandwich between the airbox and the frame.

Yeah, figured it out when I connected them to the petcock and I poured a bunch of gas on the floor! Got her running good now. Thanks!
