    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.

vacuum lines

I have been working on my 80 850G. The guy I bought it from told me he did some carb work. The bike needed an airbox and while putting the tank back on I realized the I have no idea if the lines are in the right place. The guy had pods on the bike with tape around them to make the bike run (and it ran like crap). There are three lines, one between each carb. The center one goes to the petcock, and the other two were hanging loose. Where do they go? Should I put an adapter so all are fed with gas? Also, the petcock is aftermarket eliminating the need for a vacuum line. I want to make sure he blocked it off, but I don't know where it is supposed to come from anyhow. I have a repair manual and cannot find the answers to my questions anywhere. HELP!

Wow, thanks for the link what a gerat help. Why the vent Ts?
While trying to fit the airbox on, the boots do not fit on all four carbs right, like the box is warped. I got it off ebbay and was wondering if maybe they gave me one for a 750 or something.
Anyways, thanks for all your help.
Thanks again,
Russell

Make sure the tubes on the airpox are on right. If you notice they are not strait, the angle slightly to fit the carbs. Try and heat them with a hair dryer and slide em on. The vent T's are for gas overflow, etc.
