    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

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)

WELL AHLL BEE DOG BIT AND GATOR ET 8O 8O
 
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
