carb vacuum lines
I am in the process of putting the bike back together after valve shimming from last spring. I am sure I did not bend any valves after checking with fellow forum members.
Now I want to sync the throttle bodies but need to know the vacuum hose routing.
First: There are two hoses on the engine, right below the throttle bodies, one on each side. I have the one on the left going to the 4-way splicer. The 4 way splicer hoses goes to each of the 4 carbs.
Q1-Is this the right line to connect to the 4 way?
Q2-where does the right hose go? Air box? (There is a nipple, but no opening...)
second: The MAP sensor has a line coming off it.
Q3- where does this one go? If I remember it just dangles.
third: I have the homemade carb sync. If I remember correctly, I do the first carb, then adjust the rest to that?
Q4 - Which Hoses do I use? The ones on the 4 way? If so, where does the remaining hose go (refer to Q1)??

q1: a picture of what you have would be very helpful. there are lots of lines in there that fit your description.
q2: vacuum lines do not dangle unconnected. again, a picture would help.
q3: the map connects to a 5 way tee, one to each throttle body.
q4: carb sync wont work on fuel injection. there is a procedure to sync fi throttle bodies and it requires special screw in fittings. this is not very common at all. the ecu adjusts the mixture on fi bikes.

I believe they went to the air box but those are closed nipples...
(crap, should I get that little piece of blue towel out of there? I already have the throttle bodies on it..

Now you can see both of them.
