carb questions

[Steven Northrop]

Tom, now that I have a clearer description of those 5/16 fittings.....do NOT 
cap these off. These are the bowl vents for the carburetors and must remain 
open to the atmosphere. Run a piece of hose off each one up and under the 
seat with the opening facing the back of the bike. I stuck a small fuel 
filter in the end of each one to keep as much "junk" out as possible.

Thanks Charles, I have the 2.5 turns, they were ~4 turns from whoever had 
them off before me. I will put back the original springs, hello all 16 
screws... I thought the nipples for the synching were the ones that go to 
the diaphram coming off the valve cover (pretty small hose size) vs the 5/16 
the fuel supply line.  These are the 5/16 size.  Anyhow, I will cap them 
off.  When I turned the carbs over they are where the fuel came out, so I 
really don't like the idea that they are letting junk in the fuel system the 
way they are.
