Help: Vacuum Lines? Holes at back of Airbox?
I'm at the finishing stages of getting my SHawk on the road but I have a few things that I need to find out before I call it done. It seems the po removed a few hoses and left four small hoses 2 on each side of carbs that exit towards the rear of the carbs, loose (vacuum?). It looks like it may have something to do with emmissions that were removed. There are also 2 holes in the back, bottom side of my airbox about 1/4 in diameter that are not plugged. I don't see any diagrams in the service manual that would help. I have the four hoses plugged for the meantime til someone can point me in the right direction. The bike is running, carbs are synced, new plugs, new tps, but seems to be running a little lean not sure if it needs to be rejetted (excessive backfire through exhuast on decel) or if it's the loose hoses (both?). Bike is stock w/ baffleactomy.

the 2 that hook to the carbs are the fuel bowl vents and then the rear carb haas a vac hose the goes to the petcock then there are 2 drains that go to the red painted part of the tank and the BIG rubber hoses on the carb go to the air box ....i left out the fuel lines

the hoses on a non california bike after the pair has been removed properly are very sparse
