Carby questions....with pictures!
Hi all, I'm learning, just not quickly enough! Decided to remove, check and clean the carbs on my TRX based adventure bike project. Got the digital camera out and took heaps of photos before dismantling to make it easier to re-assemble. Only didn't take any photos before removing the hoses and fuel lines on the carbys! DOH. It doesn't help that the previous owner decided to remove/change some of the hoses. On the first photo there are two plastic fittings on the air cleaner side, only one of which was connected to, only I'm not sure which one. I'm thinking the bottom one is fuel in, and the upper is the overflow. Is this right?
In the next photo there are two small brass spigots. Not really sure what they are for. Maybe the water lines to the radiator for heating the carbys used to go here? These have been disconnected by the previous owner, not sure why.
Thanks in advance for all the help, again.

First pic the top connector is fuel in the second one is overflow.
Second pic they are connectors for the hot water correct.

My bike maybe a dinosaur but it still has some bite & has a mighty roar.

Re: Carby questions....with pictures!
Well Kenny, I connected the carbs as you said and it flooded constantlythrough the overflow tubes. I tried connecting the fuel line to the lower connection and all is well. Just thought I'd better say in case someone on here with the same question reads this.
