petcock hoses

[razooki]

I apologize in advance for the question but I have looked around but I can't find the answer. I know the larger hose from the petcock goes to the T betwen #2 and #3 carbs but where does the smaller hose from the petcock go? I have VM carbs.

Thanks,

Raz

If i'm correct I do believe it goes to the vacume port on carb #2

NO!! on the VM slide carbs it goes to the #3 carb.
But if you bike is an 80 's, your signature ? model it should have the BS vacuum carbs. then his answer would be correct to the #2 carb

Hi Mr. razooki,

What bike are we talking about? The 1980 GS850 has CV carbs, the Mikuni BS32SS model. CLICK HERE to have a look and see if anything looks familiar.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I know the '80 GS had the CV carbs but mine is a Canadian one and apparently some early '80 ones came with VM carbs. I am sure they are VM since I asked for clarification on an earlier thread.
