Hey to all,I'm waiting for a manual to arrive but I'm also desperate to try and start it.it's a 1987 xj900 that came with the fuel tank disconected,it has three pipes coming out of the carberettor facing up and three smaller pipes facing down.I don't know what way the fuel line connects to the tank so I'm stuck and need advice!

Cheers I'll try that

Hello to all, thank you Paul for pointing out the correct procedures here,I live in Melbourne and have just bought an xj900 1987 that I'm having trouble with,if anybody out there knows anything about these bikes it would help slot. Regards pat white

Hi to all, I just bought a 1987 xj900,it came without a battery and the fuel tank was not connected,on closer inspection I found six pipes coming out of the back of the carborettor"three facing down are small pipes and three facing up are larger pipes,the one in the middle is grey".the small ones I thought are for air and vapour and the large ones all connect together and lead up to the tank but I really haven't a clue at this stage and do I need another part that I connect the small pipes to.There is one more larger pipe that comes out of the oil tank that is not connected to anything and I don't know if I need something else for this.If anyone knows anything about these bikes you're help would be greatly appreciated,Im just eager to get it started.
