Carb hoses help 1999 Vulcan Nomad

1999 1500 Nomad...There are 3 nipples on the carb. I have the service manual but can't seem to find any clear diagrams as to what goes where. Got the bike as a "basket case" do didn't see how it came apart.

HI I have the same bike and it was also a basket case,,but eventually got it running decently.....

they are all vacuum so its not real critical which goes where but,
1. the nipple buried in the middle splits off two ways, one goes to the vacuum valve switch-connected to large rubber hoses on the front and back cylinders-I would recommend getting a set of block off plates for the box thing of ebay, covering it up and that eliminates the box, the valve switch and one vacuum connection.
2. the other side of the vacuum connector goes to the canister in front of the battery
3. the white labeled hose goes to the vacuum switch valve
4. the yellow labeled hose goes to the canister also by the battery

if you contact me, I can send the photos of the connections, Mike at 7605258565
