    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi all.

On the last stages of getting the buke fired up.

I have searched and read several threads on this and my carb quad seems to be a hair different.

I will start with how it was hooked up when I got it... doesn't make much sense to me after reading but nonetheless:

Carb 1 - air vent does not exist i.e. no nipple
Carb 2 - air vent BUT was capped with a rubber piece
Carb 3 - suction I believe and going to the Petcock valve
Carb 4 - air vent BUT was connected to fuel sender overflow

The cap on 2 and the connection on 4 to the sender unit both seem off to me.

From what I read, both 2 and 4 are simply vent lines and the sender unit connection is simply an overflow.

Carb 3 seems to be accurate.

Will someone please confirm?

Thanks!
 
You are correct

#3 to petcock
#2 and #4 are vents for the float bowls, run vent lines up and over to behind the airbox

Fuel sender overflow just runs back near airbox
