'89 gsxr-250r

Hey all.

I've inherited a GSXR-250R and it's not running properly. I pulled off the airbox to check it out and i'd like to know, is anything supposed to be connected to these hose connectors? 1st is a pair of connectors on the carbs (between the 1st&2nd and 3rd&4th barrels?). 2nd is on the bottom of the airbox. (i feel there should be some sort of 1 way valve there) and 3rd is on the bottom of the fuel tank (the one that isn't on the fuel tap).

Thanks heaps, and sorry if these are stupid questions

Oh and by the way, i can't find a manual for this anywhere, all i can find is one for the gsx-250

GSXR400/ 400 Bandit should be similar for how things fit together. Fiche and manual are out there
THre is a GSXR250 manual on the net. May be a different year, whcih have difffernet carbs. The 250 Across manual may also be useful and is out there.
Look in the sticky links.

Yeah thanks for that i found the manuals you suggested but they didnt help me with my problem, might just have to have a bit of a tinker unless anyone else has some suggestions?

Thanks

I think you will find that the ones on the carbs should be sealed caps. Something to do with the vacuum created when they are open. The one on the airbox (bottom, right?) will be a drain - should have a hose connected that trails down by the front of the swing arm (same as the battery drain hose). The on the fuel tank is the drain for water that gets in around the filler cap.
