Vacuum Hoses on Carbs

Pulled my carbs for cleaning today. First time pulling them off a Valk for me. Got some good help from D-Rod's Youtube videos. Got them out easily. But I have a vacuum hose that I'm puzzled about. Anyone know of a good, detailed schematic I can use for reference. Or, perhaps some of you carb veterans can assist in letting me know where this hose(s) are supposed to be on the carbs?

Sorry, but first time and I'm carb stupid on the Valk. The Wing? I can pull them and put them back on blindfolded.

Thanks for any help.

The two horizontal tubes go to # 3&4 carb intake runners. The T tube goes vertically to the PAIR valve operator. It's best to replace them now as they're out.

Desmog it and get rid of those lines.  :cooldude: thats what im getting ready to do.

Thanks Sandy...I figured the elbow end went to that valve but did not know where the other hoses were supposed to go.

Had planned on desmogging but I can't get the kit here in time. I have to go over to the office in Louisiana on Sunday.

Interesting.....need an inventory of parts then. I should be able to find it here somewhere.

I did the desmog and never looked back. No more vacuum leaks, valley area nice and clean.
I got all of the partys from this guy including new pilot needles and seals. He has it all and is great to deal with. Do yourself a favor. Dump the vac hoses and do it right.
