    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Just bought the bike. Trying to put it together. Tank is a mess and I don't know how the gas lines and overflows work. So many nipples and not enough explanation! 4 carbs and 7 nipples I know about!
 
You should have 4 fuel overflow hoses (one on each bowl), 2 float bowl breathers and one fuel inlet.

Not that complicated??
 
Now that's funny! Which is which? Where are they supposed to be routed?
 
The 4 carb bowl overflows go down between the back of the motor and the swingarm pivot, I think the 2 float bowl breathers go over the top of the airbox and under the seat, the fuel line goes to the fuel tap (the big spigot) and the vacuum hose goes from the fuel tap (small spigot) to one of the carb manifolds (usually #2).
