Bought a 2004 ZX 50 3 weeks ago to replace my other ZX 50 which had broken crankshaft.  The one
I bought ran fine until a week ago. It would barely idle and no power at take off sputter and die. Tried to adjust carb no help.  To make a long story short I replaced the carb with the one from my parts ZX-50 bike. Like a dummy a didn't make a diagram of where hoses went.  I have small hose 3inches back of carb attached to carb. I don't know where it goes. I have the fuel line connected, throttle assembly and oil line connected.  Bike runs fine.    Also previous owner plugged a inlet tube in manifold just in front of carb. I'm sure a hose went here but I can't find one on bike I bought.  Also where does long hose attach to carburetor that is connect to bracket on CVT cover by back wheel. Looks like a drain or overflow tube. The photos in repair manual don't shoiw great detail.

Why isn't the vaccumm line plugged up?
How is it running this way?.. The petcock runs off vaccumm
WHERE is the vaccumm line?... That tube on the manifold that was plugged held the vaccumm line and went to the gas tank with the fuel line
BTW, no need to worry about those other hoses
