i was recently given a 91' 500r i can't seem to figure out where these hoses go under the tank?
 
Ihave been trying to put it back together but i need your help?
Ihave posted4 pics
There is a black hose from the gas tank valve that i need to know where it goes, as well as a clear tan hose from a twistable bar at the bottom of the intake with a hose clamp on it.
There is 3 spots for a hose but i only have 2 hoses and i don't know where they go?
The only spot that the tank hose will fit is on another twistable pipe above the one with the clear tan hose on it.
Any thing you would have to add would help me greatly!!

This is just behind the carb, on the other side there is a black hose that goes to the (resivoir?) tank.

This is the spot for the tank hose, and the next pic is the hose.

Hey SD. (Does the SD stand for San Diego or for South Dakota?)
The little intake port on the left side should be connected to the fuel petcock. The vacuum exerted by the intake activates the diaphragm petcock (heh heh... "Diaphragm petcock" heh heh.) and allows fuel to flow.
The little intake port on the right side should be connected to the top of the vacuum hose assembly that is also connected (with thicker hoses) to your airbox and to the fresh-air inlets near your exhaust headers.
If the "SD" stands for San Diego and what I've just said doesn't make any sense, let me know where you live and I can show you a working example.
Oh yeah... and here's a photo of an '02 (which admittedly might be slightly different.):

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Peace!
