GS850 - what is this port and where does it connect?

[mauricedonini]

Hi,

1982 GS850G.

On carb #2 there's a port (see attached photo).

What is this bronze port and where does it connect?

Thank you,

Maurice

Vacuum line to the petcock.

Agreed.

And if you don't have a vacuum operated petcock it should be plugged.

What is it with carburettors. Everything that should be open gets plugged and everything that should be plugged, miraculously gets opened.

Check out BikeCliff's Website, link in my signature. There are a couple of great CV carb rebuild tutorials, top of the list on the right side of the page, below all of the user/owner manuals and wiring diagrams.

Dang it Brendan, You took that thing about driving on a parkway & parking on a driveway & modified it to carbs??? Go figure.

Hi Rich/Steve/et al,

Thanks for the help. Vacuum port makes sense.

I will check out BikeCliff's site.

Hi Rich,

All my carb hose questions were answer on pages 71 & 72 from the Mikuni BS carb rebuild tutorial.
