    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.

Carb vent tubes

This may sound like a lame question, but I have searched and not found an answer.
I got my '81 GS1000GX with the carbs already removed, so I don't know where the vent tubes routed to nor how long they were.
Can anyone help me out?
I also noticed that the tubes from the carbs to the airbox are quite loose fitting, do they need to be sealed to the box in some fashion?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

On my '81 1100E, they route back up under the seat and fit under the supports. I can provide a pic if needed.

As for them being loose, they're probably old and should be replaced.

Thanks for the info Brad.
On my G it seems it would be an awful long run to bring the tubes under the seat.
I will definitely look into getting some some new airbox tubes.
 
on the G the vent lines go down right behind the engine through the guides cast into the back of the case.

they give over flowing gas someplace to go.
