    Finnaly ready to put the xj 700 air back on and reliezed i have no idea where most of the hoses go, mainly the 4 coming off the carb choke, are they just open breathers that run down and out the bottom. The rest i have a pretty good idea where they go, includind the vacum (yes i rebuilt the petcock ). I do want to Thank everyone that has been putting up with me on this damn carb issue, mostof the rest of the resto is going well.

    From the carb there is one 6mm line that goes from the fuel T to the large fitting on the petcock. The rest are overflow/ vent hoses for the float bowls. The petcock vacuum line (small hose) runs to one of the vacuum fittings on the intake boots, not to the carbs.
