Keith,
I think there's two on each carb (VHB 29). Only one will be visible while
the carb is on the bike. Never traced 'em to see where they go, but one's
near the enrichener part of the carb body, the other is above the bajo fuel
inlet. Good call John.

Ya know, cometo think of it, the previous right side petcock never
flowed even as fuel was emptied out of the lines, I hate to admit it,
but I learned my lesson to change out these petcocks after I ran out of
gas on the way to work - but the right side of the tank did have fuel,
but it refused to flow out of the petcock. Where are these carb vent
holes? Perhaps that is my problem. Don't want to get stuck on the road
again because fuel won't flow out of the petcocks! Will have to take a
close look at these vent holes.
