    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 first want to say that I am so glad I found this sit it has already helped me. I have just acquired my fathers 1978 gs 750 that he started to strip down to the frame to redo for resones not known to me. The bike only have 14k on it. Anyway i have it all back together but i can't don't know how to hook up the vacuum line to the petcock, or were the vacuum line is in the frist place. I think that it must have something to do with the 2 or 3 lines on the top of the carbs but i don't know. I got the bike to start and run but only on prime. That works so long as i dont torn off the bike, if i do it spilles gas out of carb 1 (left side carb, thats is #1 i think) any help in locating the proper vacuum lines would mack my day.
 
If it's anything like my gs850, the #2 carb has a vacuum line coming off of the top. there is one hose connection for fuel (shared by all carbs) and two more for float bowl vents (one shared between carb 1 & 2, one shared between three and 4). the vacuum line from #2 should go to the petcock, fuel line goes to petcock (sounds like you've got that one sorted). the two vent lines just hang out i think (someone chime in and correct me if this is in error). I'd post a picture if i had one, but it should be pretty easy to figure out.
 
In stock format, the two fuel vent lines a routed up and back and are fastened by a plastic coated metal clip, on the top of the inner fender, ahead of the rear wheel.
