Carb Line Routing

Why O Why didnt I take a picture, I usually do ...

Guys,

Can you help me with carb line routing.

There are two thicker fuel lines that go to the vacuum petcock.
There is a single vacuum line of the balance nipple on the 3rd carb.

I am OK with those.

There are however two breather type lines that come from higher up on the carbs. One is shorter than the other.
Where do these get routed to?

Breather lines on the Triple just get bent over the carbs towards the lump and face down in between the inlet rubbers....

Thanks mate.

I need to re-do that then.

There is a drain line on the tank the other side from the tap I think, I gather thats the over flow and a line should go from that to underneath the machine like the battery breather?

I run that one down along the shock channel. Pictures definitely help when going into unfamiliar territory.

Thanks guys, I know what I am doing now. I reckon I worked out whats gone on too. The tank breather was missing.

The two carb breathers flop over the carbs and go down the middle between the engine and the carbs.

The tank breather comes off the tank and runs down the shock channel.

Sound right?
