I have taken four hoses off the fuel tap when I removed the tank but seem to have five possible connections. Can someone please send me a photo or diagrams of the correct connections?
Cheers

Re: Fuel tap hose connections
If your counting the small connection on the fuel tap that points at the ground, dont. That's only there to catch folk out.

There's a run heading out tomorrow from Fenwick if your interested.

Re: Fuel tap hose connections
Hope you got it sorted Grant, after your err ..retirement a few miles into our run, ...was it the tank hoses causing problems?
Hope you nursed it home ok ,..ps...we nearly had another retirement.........we didnt get to Glentrool , my bike didnt start at petrol station (just after you turned back) , me n Cupasoop headed to Bryans house in Irvine for jump leads, then we only ended up in Largs, had to jump-start again then drove all the way home hoping my petrol light wouldnt come on
I really MUST get a battery very soon , ie ordering one tonight

Hi Stevie
The tank breather hose was kinking and not letting air into the tank as the fuel was used. Re-routed it and went out for a short run tonight. Working great now.
