    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/vent hoses on GS750 carbs

I have been poring over BikeCliff's site, and thought I had found the right information, but this link led me to the right information about the wrong carbs. My carbs are the tall Mikuni units, and the vacuum hose that was still connected to the petcock seems to be bent in such a way as to lead to the #3 carb. There are two other identical hose fittings on the carbs, and one large one which is obviously fuel supply. What do the other two small fittings do? Vents, as in the link above?
 
If you have a '79 or older 750, #3 is the vacuum for the petcock, the identical looking nipples on #2 and #4 are vents.
 
Like he says! That is what mine are---VM carbs There is a good illustration I think on the BassCliff website.

OK, that is what it appeared to be. I am putting this bike together now, and it has had some missing hoses for a while, so I have to try to make sense out of some of this.

The only illustration I found on the BassCliff site was for a different style carb, as I linked above.

Thanks,
Jonathan
