Carb leak flow related to vacuum line?

Those are OK, just make sure it is clean, you can hook it up to the fuel line, but not the carbs and point it into a clean container, then turn petcock to prime and rinse it out.

Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I am sorry I am so full of noob questions... this is my first bike I have bought which needed a lot of "love" from the beginning. All I could afford... but I am actually enjoying getting to know her as well.

Anyway, after digging through the Kawasaki parts diagrams, I think I know what I am looking for. It looks like there are two vent nipples feeding from one location between carbs 3 and for. Does it matter where they run to? The vents are behind (towards the back of the bike) the vac line, also between carbs 3 and 4. Please take a look at the pics below and advise if I am missing anything here. Thanks again

Here's a good in-line fuel filter (the kind I use).

I just looked. The line coming across that was not connected is the vac line....

An unused vac line left open will cause a huge air leak.

Any unused vac nipple should be plugged (capped) during normal operation.

These are first class:

Ok, so would an uncapped vacuum line possibly be part of the problem with the fuel coming out of the carbs? Picture I attached is how I plan on taking care of the lines, anyone see any "issues". Again, thanks all. I am learning a ton.

Nope. No relation to fuel from carbs.
Likely a float valve issue or float issue, or maybe a cracked overflow tube.

Nope. Don't see any issues.
But doesn't exclude possible internal carb problems.

Good Fortune!
