Fuel line route '82 Seca 750

Hi Guys. I'm fixing up my seca and I had the carbs off to clean them. My problem is I can't seem to figure out how the fuel line was routed. It appears that I only need a short line but the line I took off is about a foot long. When I put my tank on the line seems to be in the way. And I don't want to kink it or have it rubbing on something.
The line, now, goes from the tank, over and down between the 2 middle carbs and back under the carbs to the fuel inlet pipe between the first and second carbs (counting from left while sitting on bike)
Any advice? Or a picture would be good please.

 

Sounds like it's way too long. I replaced my gas line/filter. If you don't have a in-line filter, it's recommended to add one. Chacal has some good ones for about $6. The gas line need go come up from the central connection on the carbs, turn left towards the petcock and then bend and connect to the petcock. the horizontal run across the carbs is where you'd put an in-line filter. The fuel line doesn't need to be much longer than that. Just enough to raise the tank an inch or town and disconnect the lines.

 

^^ exactly that ^^

 

Thanks guys. That's what I did. But I have another issue now. . I took it for a ride and it ran perfect until about 3 miles up the road when I went to turn around it stalled and I had a hard time getting it running. It wouldn't start unless I let it sit for about 60 seconds and then it would start with the choke on 1/2 way but I couldn't keep it running. So finally after many try's I got it moving and it ran good going back. When I got home again it idled fine and started up good. I drove it again and it worked fine. Later in the day it acted up again and there is a popping sound coming from the left exhaust so I checked the spark plugs and the left outside one was blacker than the rest but dry. The carburetors are clean and set right except they haven't been synchronized since they were cleaned. BUT that part of the carbs was not touched during cleaning. DO THEY STILL NEED SYNCHRONIZATION????
Also would a bad plug wire cause this problem?

 

When you say "but that part of the carbs was not touched during cleaning", that's a red flag. In other words, they couldn't have been completely cleaned without fully stripping them down.
