I'm hoping to get more out soon but I'm glad I could help

@@JunkworksGarage I think your personality and approach is very calming to a quick tempered person like myself, although I have been told my progress over the last 3 years is very good Hahaha ;) I look forwards to any future videos on the bike and will activate the notification bell. This info is a god sent to me, thanks. Be good now and if you can't, be careful! ;) Keep the rubber on the road ;)

Simon Lazarus i'm going to try to get it running this year and then restore it as money allows. thanks for the info. have a good one.

unfortunately life has got in the way and the bike is still in progress but not forgotten

unfortunately i did this ages ago and life got in the way and it hasn't made it much further so i have yet to finish sorry, i'm hoping this winter

@@JunkworksGarage Hey Sam, no worries, whenever you feel inspired to look over that nice old bike again. Your tank removal was really helpful, so I feel inspired to get on with my XV's tank, but I just felt a little nervous about the 'putting it back together' part! Thanks a lot, and Keep us posted.

@@1071jmkz thanks i will

sorry i dont know

👍

not positive i believe one goes to the reserve tank and the other goes to the carbs but it's been a long time

They both go to the ‘sub tank’ (I’ve never heard of that before but that’s what it’s called on the diagram they kindly included on the sub tank which you can see when you remove the left side cover) I think the smaller hose is a vent line... btw I found an easier way to take off the tank without spilling much if any gas ... I’ll take a picture as I’m doing it right now and put it in a main comment

@@optiskeptic4746 Hello, just taking a shot in the dark here seeing it's been 7 months since your post. Did you ever come around taking those pictures? I want to remove my fuel tank to have it repainted and if you have a good way of removing it without getting gas all over, I would be all ears. Thanks.

Pretty sure these are all carburetors. There is also a smaller tank on the left thats under that side panel. There also should be a fuel pump on the right side near the foot peg on top of the gear box

@@pilotlangdon Yeah, I was researching for at least a fuel filter. The Clymer's service manual had only the XV1000 and 1100 and diddly squat for the 700, but I am assuming the 700 is in the same place (thanks for the info on the placements and what to look for...gonna check them out). I still have to give a look as soon as I get the '72 carb (just finished with that rebuild and installing and starting tonight...hahha..sorry neighbors). So after that going after the filter on the Virago. Does it have a fuel pump too I wonder, you said there was, I'll check? It would be clogged as well. (oh, and I'm sure the carb needs a rebuild. Oh God). I'll sift though your vids with hopes you may have something there. I won't say diddly unless I have a specific question (unless you have something to add and thanks in advance). Waiting for a new petcock for it also. The "tank" leak was actually the petcock. I'm retired? From what? haha Cheers man!

I am still working on the carbs there apart but i have had to put this bike on the back burner to get other project done hopefully this winter i will have time to get back to fun projects

not without ruining it sorry but the best way to open a lock without a key is to drill the lock until you can use a screw driver to turn it

Thanks a lot for the reply, I'll try that out :)
