Default Suzuki GS750D Carb pipe mystery.

My '78 GS750 will not fire on #3 cylinder. I have a spark, I have good compression but it only fires intemittently.

I am sure it is fuel related. I had the carbs off and cleaned them out paying particular attention to #3.

I think it might have something to do with the pipes that are attached to the carbs. I don't know where they all belong as I bought the bike as it is.

It has the 4 pipes that go underneath to drain any over spill from the bowls. I has the large pipe which is the fuel inlet. Then it has 3 more pipes which I think are vacuum pipes. I attached the one for #2 to the petcock but I don't know where the rest go. The workshop manual gives me no clues.

Thanks for looking.
