    I am rebuilding a Honda VT250 after it catching fire and it has a vacuum petcock. But I cant see where the vacuum hose can connect to the inlet manifolds. The rubber boots do not have the spigot to connect the fuel tap hose.
    All the manifolds dofor sale dont show where the vacuum could go.
    Any ideas?

    Is there possibly a nipple hanging off of the head itself? I'd suspect it would be down and left of the #1 inlet, but I'm not familiar with the vt250. Is it possible the previous owner disabled the vacuum port on the petcock itself and blocked off the vacuum line port on the head/intake?

    Looking in from the right-hand side of the bike on my Spada VT250. The vacuum take off nipple comes off the rear head at the base of the intake port spigot.
