Dave,

Thanks for the primer.  I had wondered where the overflow line was supposed
to go, onto the exhaust manifold didn't appear to be the smartest solution.


QUESTION: You said the line was originally routed into the air cleaner, but
I do not see any type of connection fitting there.  Does it just stick in
through the vent hole?  Might anyone have a picture of the proper set-up? 

Thanks,

Bill B

The "fuel connection" on the left facing side of each cover is  the vent.  
The front carb has a double on the right and the rear a single  on the
right.  
Fuel in to the rear connection on the front carb, out on the  front
connection and loop over the to right front on the rear carb.  
The vent does allow fuel to spill over in flooding or excess fuel
situations so you want to think about how to move that away from the exhaust
manifold.  
For example the TR3 ran it into the air cleaner.
