There should be a fitting on the top of each carb holder.

On my 750 it goes on the number 3 inlet at the top of the carb (right up against the cylinder head), you should see a small rubber boot thingy with a metal clip/tab, if you look you will probably see where it goes as the others have the boot and the one you want doesn't :hah:
