maybe if someone could post a pic like this but closer and bigger of where lines and hoses go on this side of the motor it would help out great!

Well, the two tubes are different sizes and correspond to the tubes on the firewall. Easy enough there. If gas is coming out of that back vacuum port, something is wrong. Maybe your gasket is broken under the air horn.

also if the key is turned to on and the motor isnt cranking the carb will dump fuel in until the key is turned off. I guess if it was left on it would over flow. any ideas on that?

all those yellow hoses and stuff in the upper right by the carb we dont have.. theres pretty much hoses from the bottom thing under the carb that go nowhere..also it looks like plastic pices they connect to and they are not there either.

also thanks everyone so far for all your help

also is there a regulator or filter or something that goes inline witht he hose from the fire wall??

only reason I ask all these questions is becasue the carb was taken off and pretty much all the hoses were cut.
