My Carb finally arrived but i am not sure where to connect hoses Hose #1 & #2 in picture i think #2 goes to the intake #6, but not sure. #1, i think is a vacuum line but where would that connect? I now have an electric fuel pump. #3 is the throttle cable #4 I think is Fuel drain #5 Fuel intake Next question is the intake i bough only has 1 Tit on it instead of 2. As seen in second picture #6 The other hose cam from this(picture below) I think this is the pollution thing? If i can remove it let me know i will. Thank you for all your help!! Ray

The black tubes coming out of the sides of the carb are overflow drain tubes. Just let them hang next to your carb. If gas comes out of them, you have bigger issues.
I believe #4 is your carb bowl drain tube, it is a smaller tube than the others isn't it... mine was on my Mikuni TM. And it is a very tiny barb on that thing, way too small for 3/16" tubing.
#3 is def the throttle cable, have you modified yours yet to fit the TM?
There are no vacuum lines on the TM, remember, that's one of the benefits of this flatslide, you don't have to rely on the vacuum system.
#6 should go to your vacuum operated fuel pump if your gas tank is below your carb. If your gas tank is above your carb, it will be hooked up to your vacuum-operated fuel petcock.
Since I have an electric fuel pump and a TM28 flatslide, I don't use any of the vacuum ports that are on my intake.
Wait until you get that carb tuned up for your engine, it'll feel like a new scooter with all the throttle response you'll have!

Thanks usfmarine I am rather stupid to the understanding of carb's/gy6 engine, but i am learning fast. Also i am not scared to try anything. I bought a bike break cable and using it for throttle. Was same as throttle cable with less to grind off end. Best part is casing everything cost me $5.
Will be posting how to make your own custom made end fittings soon.
Thanks again for your help Ray

One other tip about the idle adjustment screw on the TM carbs; they are super sensitive. Once you get it close, turning it 1/16 of a turn can make a big difference in idle. If you look at it funny it'll affect idle speed Just to give you a heads up.
