My 98 Valk trike has the vacuum lines removed from all carbies except No 6, which goes to the fuel petcock.

All the vacuum line inlets to the carbs have been pluged neatly with nice little plugs that look designerd for the job, so it's not just a bodge job b y the look of it, but what gives?

Appreciate any info on this. I noticed this a way back and have been meaning to ask.

You sir, are the proud owner of a de-smogged Girl. Look up de-smog in shop talk.

Yeah I had read about that some, and was wondering. Thanks. I will read further.

Sure makes cleaning the engine easier. It must be a mess under there without that mod!

You're good.  On a desmogged Valk, there should be a vacuum line from #6 to the petcock. Just learned this myself from Pappa and Pancho....and there will be 2 open vent tubes from each bank that tuck into 2 holes on the backside of the rear carb rail.
