    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.

GS850G (1979) I am looking for information how to hook up the lines going to the carburetors.
Some are no brainier ? but I don?t know about the others. When I got the bike the tank was disconnected.
I have the Clymer GS850 manual but the pictures in it are to dark to decipher the hose connections.
Also looking for a gas cap at reasonable cost - I do not care if it has a key lock, information to ware to get
a after market simple cap would be grate.
Thanks Bill wdemerly@comcast.net
 
There are two hose barbs on your petcock. A small one for vacuum, and the larger one for fuel. You should be able to find two similar barbs on the carbs. Look in between #2 & #3 carb. There are other barbs on #1 & #4 carbs. These are vents. You can leave them without hoses. I believe you also have four barbs sticking straight down from each carb. These are bowl drains in case the carbs get flooded. These must have hoses routed behind the tranny so fuel will drip away from the hot motor. There is one final hose to be aware of. On the tank gage sending unit there is a small barb. Route a hose back along the frame & down behind the tranny.

Hope that helps.
 
Use quality fuel line that wont kink. Not clear plastic tubing. Mine are all clamped. When you mount the tank be sure the hoses dont kink. It can be tough to see under the tank.
 
check e-bay on the locking gas cap.i saw one the other day .There always on there.
 
:-D Thanks for the gas cap info on eBay. I tried to bid on one the other
day but got out bided. Guess I will have to rais my stakes next time.

Thanks Bill
