Rick,
Not familiar with your particular yr. model GS, but ALL the GS's I've owned has the vacuum line to the petcock coming from the #2 intake(or carb) including the following:
'78 GS550
'81 GS750
'80/81 GS750/1100
'82 GS650
'83 GS750(x2)

Ok everyone make sure about what year you are talking about The older slide type carbs 79 or older the vacuum does connect to the #3 carb. The later BS type 1980 or newer vacuum carbs the vacuum line connects to the #2 carb

Just hook it up where you have the port for it. You won't be able to hook it up to #2 if it's on #3...

and vicee-versee.

"Now, is that on the driver's side or the passenger side carb?"

"Is that one of the Port carbs, or the starboard carbs?"

"When I stand facing North, my carb vaccum hose is facing West."

OK, OK...

:P
