I removed both carburetors in my '88 Exciter to clean them, but now I'm not sure I how to route the fuel lines. Should have taken more pictures before I started. Is there a diagram somewhere or does someone have pictures to help?

this will show carb lines , Sorry , I dont have a picture or tech for this machine.
Start with the basics and then rest after it runs.. A firm solid fuel line from crank to
fuel pump . no cracks. a line from a extra fuel can to the pump inlet . a line off pump
to see if it squirts when pulled over .. Presuming this sled has compression
on both sides to create the pulse ? Next a good fuel filter in tank , to the pump
instead of fuel can , try again . Then mount the carbs with just lines to the
inlet to bowl. try again . if doesnt sputter . see if fuel made it in the valve and
filled the bowls. It's a monster displacement .. I cheat and put some premix
(small amount) in each plug hole . and fire up on that fuel. Nothing else wrong like
mice in exhaust , no spark ,,, it should fire up (raise the track in case it engages)
DON,T lay plugs on head to test for spark , make a ground wire with a clamp
for a bolt and clamp to grab plug .. I'm sure testing for spark with just a squzzy
ground must be hard on coils . and often fools you thinking there
was no spark (just bad ground).. WHEN it runs , then you can reinstall all the
vent , over flow and fuel lines .
Good luck testing

This is helpful. Thanks...
Here is a picture of four fuel lines that come from the carbs (two from each one). I don't know where they went before I started so I can't figure out where they're supposed to run. They comes from the ports circled on the diagram from the Partzilla catalog.
