Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yeah that last picture they have the vacuum and fuel ports on the petcock teed together. That is wrong. It should not flow fuel except on "PRI", and if it does the petcock diaphragm is shot and you're getting fuel through the vacuum tee (effectively you're always flowing fuel as on PRI). The needle valves in the carbs are not meant to hold back a constant steady pressure of fuel when not in operation, and are leaking and overflowing into your airbox.
The idea is that the petcock should not flow fuel in the ON position unless the diaphragm is getting vacuum (because the engine is running) via the vacuum port on carb #3 (that's carb #2 BTW on the 80-82 CV carbs, not that you care).
The vacuum port should be connected to the hose coming off of #3 carb. The hoses from #2 and #4 are vent hoses and the ends should be left in a relatively turbulence-free area. Where is the hose from #3 leading now? I hope it is at least plugged.
OEM replacement petcocks still appear to be available for $75-$100.
Call me immmediately i PMed you my number..
Go back and read thru BassCliffs site on posting pictures and repairs, especially the 10 things
That's one seriously messed up bike, I wonder what else the PO did that's just completely wrong?
Get some new fuel line from the T to the petcock, run the hose on #3 to the petcock and see what happens
Have you checked your oil level? Does your oil smell like gas?

Hi,
Have a look at this:
Where Do These Hoses Go?
Your carbs are the VM style so the vacuum port on the petcock will attach to the #3 carb, to a nipple on the top/rear of the carb (not the #2 like on the CV style carbs). Each of your carbs will have a drain hose. The fuel line runs to the "T" between the #2 and #3 carbs.
I'll bet there's gas in your oil. You'd better change it.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

I can't find the vacuum port between the carbs that runs to the petcock
ON the LEFT side of carb 3 sticks out at an angle just above and to the right of the fuel tee in the center..... kinda in the middle of the carb body.
