    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.

I'm an Idiot... Where do my carb hoses go?

So I just took off, cleaned, and bench synced my carbs ('82 GS850GL), which was my first rebuild/clean ever. I just went to re-install the carb and I am at a loss to which hose goes where. The clymer manual was no help. Using the Carb-cleaning pdf from the GSResources here are my hoses:

2 x "Vent T"
1 x "Fuel Inlet"
1 x "Vacuum Port"

I would assume the fuel inlet goes to the large fitting on the petcock.
I think the vacuum port goes to the small fitting on the petcock.
There is a large tube coming from the top of the engine which is not connected to anything now (maybe the Vent T goes here, but there are 2 Vent Ts). Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
The large tube comming from the engine hooks to your airbox if you have one, if not then you need to put a filter on it. The tube that hooks from the second carb from the left goes to the petcock.
 
Well, the vent tubes are just that...they just vent...so they simply route downwards towards the ground. The large tube that comes out of the top of the engine connects to the similarly sized port on your airbox. Fuel line should be pretty self evident...but I'm having a hard time remembering where the vacuum line runs...errrr.....it goes on the only port left? lol.

Fuel T. To the petcock. OK

Large tube from engine to airbox. Cool.

Vents. Just stick a tube on them and they don't attach to anything else.

Vacuum Port to the petcock small fitting. OK

I think thats its. Thanks everyone.
