Default help! need either diagram or pic of vacuum hoses on kfx400.

Could someone take a pic of the stock carburetor in a kfx400 (or ltz400), and post it? Last year one of my friends took my Kawi apart because it wasn't running right. We got the quad back from him before he could put the carb back on. We just got a new carb in, and we can't be sure that the vacuum hoses are in the right place. The quad sounds beautiful, but the idle is still unpredictable. We think either a vacuum hose is on wrong or something else is the problem. Please help ASAP! I haven't ridden my quad in 2 years because of this problem.

Go to Motosport.com or Rivaracing.com ..... they both should have the Suzuki parts break down and I think it lists all the vacuum hoses for the carb.

Default Carb is back on, but still having idle issues...

Thanks for the help. We got the new carb on, and the hoses attached. We still had an idle problem so we ordered a new choke cable. Now we have the new choke cable on, and the darn thing is still having the idle problem. It seems to start up a little easier now, but it seems like it is running lean. After several (maybe 30) seconds of running it shuts itself off. What can we check next?
