yep, except on that photo I cannot see the other two inlets. But that is what the back of my carbs look like.

Ok, did some more research and found out that these could be vent hose connections. Where would they go to. If to the airbox i guess it wont matter since i dont have one anymore. Any Ideas???? Are these indeed vent connections? Thanks

Just one connection on the petcock for vacuum. One for gas and one for fuel.
