    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...

    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.

First of all I want to thank all of you for the help with adjusting the float bowls. Now I just have to get those things in the bike. All is well, but I just can't figure out where all the hoses go on the carbs and on the gas tank for that matter. :? It looks like two hoses go from the petcock and there is another vent or something on the right side of the gas tank that looks like a hose goes there too. And of course there are four places on the carbs (3 on the right carb and 1 on the other carb) where it looks like hoses go. Any ideas where to put this stuff. It's an 83 550 with two Mikuni BSW30SS carbs. Maybe one of you has a diagram for where all this goes or something.
 
That's actually the same diagram that I have. The only problem is that I don't know wich hoses go to what spot on the gas tank. It seems like there are more connections than there should be or something. Where on the carbs do the the individual fuel lines go? :?
 
Steve-o you're in luck, mine are still sitting here.

First the carb with one connection. or what I will call the left carb.
This is a fuel bowl vent. Just put the hose on it and route it up under the front side of the seat behind the gas tank.

The second carb ( right ) has three connections.
Front to rear as sitting on bike or from engine side to air box side.
Smaller connector, is vent to petcock in fuel tank. (Smaller hose).
Next back is the fuel bowl vent for this carb route as the other.
Fartherest back is the fuel line from the tank (Bigger hose with spring around it, at least mine has the spring).

Fuel travels between the carbs using a metal line just under this connection to the right carb. I can take a picture if that would help.
