    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.

78 GS1000 carbs and hoses - Quick Question ?

I have looked at the bottom of the BOWLS on the carbs.

Only one of them has a rubber hose on the nipple and runs to the back of the engine. (The far left one)

The other "3" carbs do not have a hose and if you take a wrag after riding it and dab the bottoms of the carbs - there are a few yellowish gas spots on the wrag.

Now the seapage is not a big deal - I can wipe it.
Crap, it is unoticable to the naked eye but ---------------

Is ther supposed to be hoses on the other 3 carbs.
 
Yes, put them on and run them down the back right hand side of the engine towards the ground. You will see where there is a square hole/holder area molded in the engine case to slide them through. It wont hurt anything like this unless you maybe dump a load of gas on your hot engine. You really need to drain that stuff to the road. Get the tubes on there.
 
Yep, one on each carb. You can route them all together to the right side. There is a little hole behind the engine that all 4 hoses will fit down in that will drain any overflow gas between the exhaust pipe and rear tire.

 
Sweet - Thanks for the answers.

I will run by the shop and get some more of the tubing and slap it on.

THANKS AGAIN.
