picture of fuel tank

i am putting my fuel tank all back on, and i am not able to see the manual very clearly as far as where all the hoses go. if someone could post a pick of what the bottom side of the fuel tank looks like, with the petcock on, i would be so grateful.

5 lines

Two big ones are easy

third big one to the tank itself

Little one that turns big goes on the tank, not the petcock

other little one goes on the side of the petcock on the left, NOT the port on the bottom/back

if you get it back on and the bike runs for a few minutes then bogs down, the little one on the petcock is on the wrong port

the little one on the petcock, it goes to the part that runs parallel to the ground. is that correct. the bike will not start. also, do i understand correctly that all the way counter clock wise is on for the fuel petcock

These are the two lines not on the petcock as viewed looking from the front


Petcock from the front



Petcock from the rear. You can see the little vacuum line




Hope this helps!

I use a rubber mallet up front to prop up the tank. Gives me enough room to do everything.

Drew, your little clamp is slid back on the petcock vacuum line. BTW, that's always the easy way to tell which is which. The small tank vent has no wire clamp.

thank you so much for the pic. it helped out. my bike doesnt have the small tube that turns into the big tube. both of the small ones are the exact same, so i had them backwards. i hope.... anyways, the bike ran for a few, so thanks everyone for your help.
