If your bike is anything like mine (and if I remember correctly) there's only one vacuum line, the other two are for overflow and for draining anyleaks from the fuel guage sending unit. On mine the vacuum line originates from the left side of carb #2 at a brass nipple that points straight up from the carb.

Then one on #2 carb goes to the fuel tank petcock, the 2 upper ones,one for carbs 1 & 2, and one for carbs 3 & 4, are vents, they go to atmosphere or the airbox. the one on the fuel guage sender is an overflow in case the unit leaks internally....

I was missing hoses on the spaces in between carbs 1 and 2 , and 3 and 4.

I had the 2 going to the tank , but any others were missing.... would this have caused problems?

also, what length/thickness/material should I use to replace these missing lines?

Ill post some pics soon.

I've been missing the 2 vent lines also. They weren't there when I got that bike and I didn't replace them and after I installed my carbs, there's no way to now. And I AIN't taking them back off. EVER.

I've had no problems, neither before OR after.
