    Bought a Honda interceptor 500 this spring that was not put together.

    I did my best at putting the carbs back together and bike fires up fine but occasionally make a popping sound possibly a poor fuel/ gas mixture.

    Would someone take a look at their vf500 to help me find where these hoses connect to? I'm more concerned on the clearish "yellow"one on the left side of the bike (assuming you are sitting on the bike) as that one goes close to under the boot of one of the carbs.

    Want to connect all hoses to the right places before attempting to sync the carbs.

    3 hoses in question:

    > 2 black ones that come off the carb
    > 1 clears yellow one from side of bike close to carb boot

    *Photos are attached

    Thanks for the help! Bike Sounds Awesome minus the occasional popping sound :-/

    one hose is the vent for the float bowls and must be left open to the atmosphere. the clear hose is not stock.
