Mikuni hoses ???

I started to make Mikuni conversion to my 750 Paso, so today i take 40mm Dellortos away with all they stuff. Now i start to put new things to Paso. I have pair of Mikunis from Elephant 900 with airbox. Want to ask some questions first about HOSES in Mikunis. There are quite many hoses and its good to understand first, where they need to be connect. I havent played with Mikunis ever, so i really dont know, to where they should be connected, so, please, be patient with some "stupid questions". Previous owner cant remember, where they were connected. So i need help from such guys, who have make that conversion, or know details about Mikunis. Only "taughts" wouldnt help so much... :evil: I list down hoses by OUTSIDE DIAMETER and MATERIAL, so it can help little.

1. 10.3mm rubber from close next nr.2.(somekind breather, or return back to tank?)

2. 12.0mm rubber/textil (fuel line to carburator?)

3. 6.0mm plastic pipes from down part of float chambers(both have such) Somekind breathering pipes again?

4. 13.0mm rubber hoses from close fuel input(?) connetions? Again some breathers? To inside airbox, or outside???

Are there any pipes coming to airbox from carburators?
Is there return line for fuel?
Does Mikunis work in 750 Paso with gravity feed, or does they need Paso original fuel pump? Better would be with gravity feed, so then no need any return lines/valves to keep suitable pressure in lines....

I put already topic to classifield section to find 750cc manifolds, cause seems, that my 900cc manifold dont fit to 750cc engine.

Drain pipes for the float bowls.

The breather pipes do not really need a tank, f e many Monsterowners remove them. But they do need to be routed to a place w still air to not disturb the vacuum functions of the carbs.

No.

My friend put my old Mikunis on his 750 w my Monster/SS inlets
& KN pods. You want to keep the airbox?
I`ll ask him if he did any mods w fuelpump.

Yep, fuel pump is needed.
He has a vaccumm one as Monster. Vacuum feed from SS/Monster
inlets.
750 inlets will probably fit better.
