Fuel Cell Swap

Hey guys, I have an 08 red-tank karate kid 250. I purchased the 09 Special Edition green w/black bottom tank, and the corresponding rear cowlings (438,000 times better than red). My red tank has 3 inlets/outlet hoses on the front left of the tank for the evap can, separator pump, and the airbox. The green tank lines up properly, the fuel gauge and petcock went right in, I'm having supply problems.

The dilemma is that the green tank has one spout... Did I purchase a fake tank? Is it maybe off a 650? I don't understand how it's possible because on the parts diagram, 08-12 have the same 3 hoses going to the same places.

I'm severely confused and upset. My now "complete" 2-year project just turned into a nightmare. It's going to be a really cool build if I ever get this to work, I promise I'll throw up some pics on the forum!! Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a rook with the pavement stuff, I usually just put premix in my two smoker dirt bikes and braaaaappppp away into the distance.

Thanks guys,
Luca
