1984 kz550 carburetor hoses was created by Isaiah
I bought a 1984 kz550 today for 75$ it's not running and the guy said all it needed was a battery and a starter and it would be good to go and that it ran about 9 years ago. I've cleaned out the tank and airfilters and put my dirtbike battery in there for now. I need to know what to do with the carberator hoses now. I know that the fuel hose is in the middle and the 4 waste hoses go down to under the bike but I don't know what to do with the rest of the hoses?

Have you looked in the float bowls?

Pis(s) showing all the hoses would aid diagnosis.
On top of the cam cover, are there two snouts from covers over reed valves?
If so, are stock hoses attached to the snouts? Are the two snouts connected together? Capped off? Open to outside air?
Good Fortune!
