The site is a bit overwhelming with the knowledge and trying to find my issue.
Don't want to duplicate an existing thread but...........can't find out why the small tube coming off the vacuum breaker on the top of the carbs has a small gas drip coming out.
Is that tube to be connected somewhere and I have it open to the atmosphere? Or Is there something goofy with the vacuum breaker itself?
I hope it is called the vacuum breaker.

Re: 1981 Vacuum Breaker
The vacuum valve is damaged and leaking fuel into that chamber.
Frankly, I don't trust them and replace the eliminate the entire mess.
The only downside is that you need to get into the habit of turning the petcock to "OFF" whenever the bike isn't running.
It's a perfect place to install a Tee and an inline filter that is easily serviceable.

Re: 1981 Vacuum Breaker
Thanks for all of that. Of course I must ask, where do you get the "T"? Never mind......I will find it.

Re: 1981 Vacuum Breaker
I will take off the breaker but that hose coming off of the breaker terminates in the back of the carbs. What to do with those? Thanks again
