Yes matey, those two pipes coming out of the carbs are vacuum pipes, used for synchronising the carbs and when one attached should go to the rear of the petcock to release flow of fuel , I think thats where your fuel is running straight into the carb, thats if the manual I'm using is the same for your bike, which I'm sure it is, tell me I'm talking nuts , we are all learning

 

[Josep]

There is no hose attach to the petcock i goes just straight to the tank

 

[Josep]

 

[Josep]

Is more like this one

 

[Ropp]

In that case Josep it looks like it has a different set up to what I figured

 

[WFO-KZ]

Josep, according to Partzilla there were three different versions of the VN 1500 in 1996. Which version do you have?
Vulcan 1500, Vulcan 1500 classic or the Vulcan L?

 

[WFO-KZ]

Josep, my guess at this point is that someone has mixed up the hoses, maybe while trying to remove some pollution gear. We can get that sorted as soon as you identify which model of Vulcan you have.

 

[Josep]

I think is a classic

 

[WFO-KZ]

If you study this diagram you will see that none of the lines go directly to the carb. Compare this diagram to your bike and see if hoses have been mixed up, or if major pieces are missing.

And theres only one hose going to the tank there is a smaller one that goes to the emission staff

 

[WFO-KZ]

When you say only one hose going to the tank, do you mean the one that goes to the fuel shutoff valve?

 

[Josep]

Is hard to tell because there is only one port in the tank and one on the carb and i dont have all the other stuff plus when i turn it on it idles fine but if i rev it high i get back fires thru the carb

When you say only one hose going to the tank, do you mean the one that goes to the fuel shutoff valve?

No sorry the one tha goes to the petcok plus one under the tank

 

[WFO-KZ]

Ok, so the one from the petcock, does it go straight to the carb? If so which port on the carb?

 

[Josep]

petcok to carb

 

[Josep]

this one goes to the tank under by the bolt tha holds the tank

this one goes to the emission stuff

 

[WFO-KZ]

And which one do you remove that makes the gas stop pouring out?

 

[Josep]

The middle picture

 

[Ropp]

here are a few tanks all marked 1500 , which one is more like yours, could be your connecting the carb to the drain on the tank

 

[WFO-KZ]

Also have a look at this diagram and confirm that when you pull the hose off of port "B", the gas stops pouring out.
