    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.

Greetings.
I have a not quite basket case GL850, 1983, I have new boots on and carbs are cleaned. The problem is I have hoses that I am not sure where they go. I have one that is held by a wire harness up under the tank and I have no clue where that one hooks up. I have figured out the petcock hoses. I get he gas running to the carbs just fine (not in prime). I am using an old GS550 manual and it has pictures but the hoses are not described and all the videos I have watched do not talk about where the hoses go or what they are.

Would appreciate a source. Thanks in advance.

There should be four hoses on your carbs.

1. Fuel hose that goes to the T between carbs 2 and 3.
2. Vacuum hose that goes to a nipple on the outlet side of carb 2.
3. Vent hose that goes to a T between carbs 1 and 2.
4. Vent hose that goes to a T between carbs 3 and 4.

If you are still using the stock airbox, the vent hoses should be routed over the top of the airbox and down the right side, where you will see a device that will hold them there.

There is a fifth hose under the tank, it is connected to a funnel that is bolted around the fuel level sender. The hose will route any fuel that might leak from there away from the top of the engine. That hose should be routed over the airbox then down to the swingarm pivot area.

Thank you, Steve and Steve. I think that should solve my problem. I will check out what Cliff has posted.
Thanks again
