    I recently had to replace the battery and in doing so i broke one of the brittle fuel lines - so i thought i would replace them...well i've now replaced them - taking 2 weeks to get around to it and in doing so i forgot as well didn't take a picture before i started taking things apart.  So i think i may have placed a part in the wrong line...but may also have got it right as the bike is working.  Long story short I'm after a photo of the fuel lines and more specifically which fuel line has, what looks to be, a valve installed.  This is so that i can confirm that I've put things back together properlly.  I was thinking that it would go on the line that feeds in after the carby as in the choke line (guessing here i could be wrong)...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok I've worked out what is going on...  after much deliberation on the thinking seat ;) ... once i figured out that the fuel tap is of a vacuum type i realised that the valve is actually the fuel filter and that is also why it was dry when i removed it (no fuel in line) so it wasn't obvious to me at the time, but now it is and it goes inline to the carby.

    I have also found, from talking with Megelli, that the replacement part to get the starting issues resolved is to remove the vacuum tap and replace with a single line manual tap, going to go with the OEM updated part and will block the vacuum line.  Other fuel taps might fit, but i didn't want to go through trial and error.
