Post by: Ham on October 22, 2011, 07:44:38 AM

This is a pic of how the fuel lines are supposed to go, a sticker on top of the air box displays the same(on mine)

The arrangement of the fuel lines I found to be frustrating when removing the tank, so I rigged up my own arrangement with all new rubber and a brass an alloy fitting.

Same again from a different angle

A vacuum line comes from carb 01 inlet rubber to a black box near the battery, a vacuum line comes from carb 02 inlet rubber to the petrol tank petcock.  Carbs 03 and 04 have caps on the vacuum outlets.

Hope it helps,

cheers, Gareth

I would also like to say thanks Gareth. I haven't had any problems(well any that I can tell), but I now see my routing is completely wrong.

My sticker was faded somewhat but now I know why the carbs have that little black thing that holds the pipe on the number 2 carb.

My pipe was just free.

The black thing that holds the pipe goes on number 3 carb.  Pete.
