Carb issue , WTF ? Am I missing a Vac line ??

OK, Im trying to figure out why my bike that ran great last week, wont run at all this week.....
There are a number of undesirable issues that I see when I pull the tank off.......
The choke cable is frozen solid, at least thats easy to fix.  It was frozen a little 'In/on' though...
I ran the bike with no tank on, just the fuel in the lines and it bogged like crazy, Im sure thats
just cuz the vacuum line wasn't hooked up though, hopefully.  :dunno_black:


I drew this diagram, and the vac hose that I made BLUE on the left carb is totally missing
from the right carb.  It looks like one should be there but even BikeBandit doesnt show
one on right side of their parts diagrams.  Even if it is missng , the bike must have run without it for a while..

What I want to know is, am I missing a hose from right carb ?



If I am....where does it attach to ?  ALL the fittings on the fuel cocks are used  :dunno_white:
Im going to order the cable, now....4 daze 'til its in ! :cry:

Thanks very much for help !

that's a pretty good diagram. if you don't go insane from the carb crap on your gs, could you do some charactatures of some of the members ? ;)


no hose on the RH carb. you have the petcock vacuum, the over flow (TOP T) and the fuel line (BOTTOM T), and that's all. if your choke is stuck, ya it will run like crap. check the choke slider to make sure it's in the non-enriched position, start the bike with yer finger on the choke slider, let it warm, then release. if it runs fine you know the choke cable was the problem.

Thanks very much, ohgood !!

Much relieved !!

Im a starving artist right now who doesnt have too much funds to devote to
the bike. I'll do some charactures for sure !
The least I can do to give back until I get some more work  :thumb:

If you click on the link in my sig, there is some more art...


Thanks again, very much appreciated !!  :icon_mrgreen:
