I tried looking it up but I keep finding ones that have a different setup on their actual gas tank itself. I linked a few pictures i think I did it right .. first time trying.

Search for "petcock hoses"
Big hose goes between big fuel-port on petcock and side fuel-rail inlet on carb.
Small hose goes on to small vacuum-port on back side of petcock to brass vacuum-nipple on carb.
While you're there, test petcock:
1. attach small hose to vacuum-port on back of petcock
2. attach big fuel-hose to petcock and aim free-end into measuring cup
3. apply vacuum or carefully suck on small vacuum-hose
4. does petrol flow from petcock into measuring cup?
5. let petrol flow for 30-seconds
6. how much did you collect in measuring cup?
Common issue is vacuum line between carbs and petcock leaks due to cracks or loose hose-clamps on ends. TIP: unbolt back of tank, lift it up and hold it up with prop-rod (wooden stick). This lets you get at back of petcock easily to attach vacuum-hose. Or when disconnecting, leave hose-ends attached to petcock and disconnect from carbs.
