I got a set of flatslides I'm installin in an 1100 and I was wondering where exactly do I run the hose that are on the bottom of the bowls? There's one on each carb and when I filled the carbs fuel started pouring out the nipples, I've looked at diagrams on sudco an all but they don't specify, I've seen a couple vids where they got the hose runnin to a bucket but that don't help thanks for any help guys

The sudco parts diagram says they are vent hoses, I know there are big bolt at the bottom of each bowlso its easier to get to the mains but I'm baffled on if I should cap them off or not, if you pop the bowl off there's long brass tubes and they exit out the bottom of the bowl
Here the diagram and it seems I was wrong it doesn't say vent hose just hose #109
And if you look at the bowls you see the long tube pertruding out the bowl, to me it seems like its a vent to keep from overfilling the bowls but I'm new to flatslides
Steve your saying they won't drain unless I loosen the big bolt right?

Hose 83/86 are the bowl drain lines. Those should only have fuel come out of them when the drain screw/bolt is loose.

Basically, those would be the same thing as they vent tubes on the Kat carbs top side Ts.
