I have to admit that I have never seen these
I think the small diameter hose going to the carbs (number 2 carb ?) is probably a vacuum line and if so then should be connected to a matching diameter outlet on the petcock.

Are there similar vacuum ports on yhe 2 and 3 carbs ?
On my bike I have little rubber vacuum caps on the brass vacuum nipples on the 1, 3 and 4 carbs and on #2 there is a narrow diameter hose which goes to a matching diameter nipple on the petcock. Those four nipples should be either capped or connected to something. Should'nt be left open.
Up here we did'nt get all that stuff with hoses running across the head and into the airbox and so on so it's hard to visualise your setup.
Have fun

If you still have your airbox, look for a hole on the front of it, and plug that as well. That's where those hoses were originally routed.
