Motorcycle Repair: fuel line hook up, kawasaki 454 ltd, bill silver

Question
Bill,  
I bought a 1982 Kawasaki 454 LTD, it has needed lots of parts to get back in running condition. Gas leaked out of one carb breifly but no longer does so. inside of carbs had some rusty floats etc, I have tried to clean jets and inside as best i could with carb cleaner, the only problem is the fuel lines were not connected when I got it. I have no idea how to hook up the fuel lines to carb's,any suggestions as how to hook them up?
Thank you!

Answer
Tom, I checked into the http://www.powersportspro.com/partsfish/
website and only found 454s back to 1985 listed, but will assume that they are somewhat similar to yours....
Looks like a T fitting in the middle with small O-rings on the ends to seal the fuel tube into each carburetor.

Single fuel line drops down from the petcock into the middle of the T fitting.

Make sure everything is real clean inside the fuel system or you will have problems over and over again with rust, dirt, varnish and debris getting into fuel passages.
