  • #2

    The hoses #3 go to the tee fitting between the carburetors. #2 is a vacuum line that goes to the tap on the left most intake manifold.

    You'll have to explain better what's leaking. If everything was hooked up and fuel was leaking, you'd have to have at least one leaking petcock, a leaking vacuum shutoff, and one or more leaking float valves.

    This kit will help you rebuild the two petcocks and vacuum shutoff. (spider valve)

    The same vendor is a good source for a lot of the carburetor parts if you need them. That's been my experience.

        That kit I linked to will fix it. In case you need it, here's a little help.

        I realize the petcocks on your bike aren't vacuum, but the info could be useful just the same.
