g’day Jim, you’ve obviously got the “octopus “, the easiest way to plumb these lines is to -- 1-with the hoses off the fuel tank, turn the taps to “on”, the pipe that runs fuel needs to go to the 2 centre spigots of the 4 on the square diaphragm, to stop fuel flow when the bike is sitting 2 - the other 2 pipes (on reserve and prime) go to the outer 2 on the square diaphragm bypassing the diaphragm 3- the fuel line to supply the carbs is “t’d” into the outer 2 lines hopefully this helps you
without your video, I wasn't able to remove the carburetors. It is still a pain!!!! I did it twice to clean an unclog, but the fuel leakage did not stop. What can I do?
Good video. This is a 1978 or 1979 model if in the USA as later two years did not have the vent hoses to the carbs. This is exactly the way I remove/replace carbs except sometimes I forget about the throttle cable making it a bitch. :D
Very helpful, expertly explained, keep the videos coming.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you brother.
You make it look SO EASY!
Thanks I needed that.
Great instruction! The routing and reconnecting of the hoses is very challenging. There's like a million of them!

I'm concerned I'm going to forget what tunes go where
Tunes or tubes Kevin? Top tubes are air, bottom ones are fuel 👍
@Steptoexs11 ahaha I meant tubes
