Carby Mounts

[666metalmaiden]

Hi Guys,

Being the procrastinator that I am, I have finally got around to replacing the carby mounts on my bike. Yay! Slacker!!

When I removed the old mounts, there was only one hose connected (which I think came from the fuel tank) to one of the mounts, and the other looked like the mount on the left in the picture attached.

Anyways I did the "classic" remove the tank without noting what went where... and I cant remember if it actually was the hose from the tank that was connected to the mount. If this is the case... do both mounts need to be connected??

Can someone pls clarify....
Cheers

The vacuum hose from the petcock goes to the right carb holder. The left one should be blocked-off with a dead end piece of hose.

Just for future knowledge, the vacuum ports on the boots are what you use to sync the carbs. Pop both plugs off, switch petcock to prime, hook on the sync tool to the ports, and fire it up.

(The one near the petcock is also what activates the petcock )
