Hello guys hope someone on here can help me. I bought a 1985 honda cb650sc for 300 dollars last year that had been sitting on someone's lawn for three years. Bike started no problem when i got it home but leaked fuel profusely out of the bottom of the carb bowls. I took the bowls apart and fixed the leak but like a true amateur I forgot how the hoses were run. When i say hoses I mean all the hoses. Can anyone tell me beyond a reasonable doubt how they are all supposed to be run. Currently the hose that comes off the crankcase is run to the charcoal canister and that is about it. There is another spot of on the canister for another tube that is missing. Also there is a nipple on the bottom of the air box that doesn't have a hose run to it. As well as the overflow t's between the 1 and 2 carb and 3 and 4 are not run to anything. Ive looked up lots of information and seen pictures but nothing that definitively tells how they are run. I know these old bikes can be finicky and best left stock and that is how I would like to keep mine. Running the bike without touching anything and leaking carbs I could easily cruise at 80-100 mph now the bike gets up to about 60 mph and bogs out. Other than that I have no other issues starts easily warms up idles etc. Im thinking either I messed with important hoses or the large amount of jb weld I put in the float bowl housing to keep it from leaking disrupted the tune and it won't run right until I buy ones in better condition. Any help would be greatly appreciated I want to get the most out of the bike this upcoming riding season
