    Could someone post pic of carb vent?

    Hi guys, I have gas leaking from my carbs and a few years ago I was told it was a clogged carb vent. At that time I cleaned it out and fixed the problem but now I can't remember exactly what/where the carb vents are. If someone could post a pic I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    vents

    don't have a picture handy but the upper t are the vent s on a 79. The lowers are for fuel.Now this is as you look at the carbs in the palm of your hand with the bowels down.

      The upper set of T's in between carbs 1+2 and 3+4 are the vents. Do not blow compressed air thru these hoses unless the float bowls are off, float damage will occur.
