So, I pulled the tank to run the Galfer SS clutch line, and now i have 2 connections I that don't know where they go. They start between the first and last carb sections, and are clear, (yellowed) fuel line whereas everything else is black fuel line. I have pics below. My Clymer manual isn't much help, its pics are poor and the diagrams don't show where they end. It also shows 3 connections at the back of the tank but I only have one. As always your advice is appreciated.

Are you sure? To be clear, I'm asking about the yellow (probably used to be clear) lines that start between the carburetor (first pic close right only, and second pic, both from a bit further back) The petcock lines are the small and large black pair seen in both photos with the spring circle clip
Are they overflow lines from the carbs.
JPD What is the purpose of those yellow lines are they factory or add on.

Sorry, thiught u were asking abiut the black lines withheld spring clips...
They are vent lines for the carbs. Factory installed.
Thanks guys, I thought I was making mental notes as to what went where. And it looked to me like they're supposed to connect to something since the ends are kinda flared. Are they just supposed to end there under the seat, or should i be looking for a tube that takes them down to the bottom of the bike like the other vent tubes?
They just end on top of the air box.
They provide a way for the air to get out of or into the float bowl. Without atmospheric pressure on top of the fuel in the bowl, fuel will not flow out of the jets correctly. Think of it as a straw. With your finger over the top and put it in a glass, no liquid will come up it. Same thing if it is full and you put your finger over the top, then lift it out no fluid will come out.
