Title: Help with Carb Hoses?
Post by fla-shadow on 10/31/05 at 17:56:40

Help!! I rebuilt my Carb, but I forgot to take a picture of where the hoses connect. I hooked up the gas line and can run the bike with the petcock on "prime", but I need to know which hose connects the vacuum to the petcock.

I have an 86 shadow with a stock Mikuni carb, the unconnected lines are listed below.

LEFT SIDE of CARB: (with incoming fuel line)
One hose near the middle

RIGHT SIDE of CARB:
One hose near the front
One hose near the middle.

Also, I think that the two un-used hoses serve as fuel overflow drains, but it would be nice to know for sure.

Thanks, fla-shadow

Don't know if a Shadow has the same carb, but the vacuum hose should be the one about an inch below the idle mixture screw.

If you sit on the bike looking forward ;D
- Right front hose go to the petc0ck, right aft-top hose go to nowhere :o (just tuck it under the tank, right-bottom hose go to smog box
- Left hose go to nowhere again :o
Hope it help
