    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.

Hello,

we overhauled the carbs (took us a while) and now we need help with connecting back the front the hoses.

Thanks,

The ones on 2 and 4 are vents and go over the top of the stock airbox, and then down the back of the airbox, and then between the swing arm and engine. The lower center ( larger diameter 0 is the fuel tube and it goes to the big nipple on the fuel cock. The one on 3 is the fuel cock vacuum and goes to the small nipple on the fuel cock. If you do not have a stock fuel cock and are using a manul shut off style such as a Pingel, then you must plug the hose on 3 or it will be a huge vacuum leak.
 
On the 550s the vents (on 2 and 4 like Chuck says) just go through the little hoop on the airbox lid and end there.

How about the "after" pictures?
