Motorcycle Repair: 85 yamaha maxim 700, clymer manual, vacuum lines


Question
I recently bought this bike and if it is cold, not weather wise motor wise, it wont start without spraying it with ether. I discovered that some, at least one of the vacuum lines is unhooked. Once the motor is warm it starts right up. Does anyone have a diagram of how the vacuum lines on this bike are supposed to be configured. Thank you.

Answer
Ken, you will probably need more than a diagram to get the bike running properly again. If ether is the only way to get it started when cold you need to clean, tune and synchronise the carbs as well as check/replace all the vacuum lines and intake boots. Your best bet if you want to do this all by yourself is to buy the factory service manual and/or a Haynes or Clymer manual for your bike.
