I have a 1990 70HP Evinrude E70TLESB and need to know where to hook up the vacuum lines to on the primer solenoid. I have the service manual and it does not show it. I also have looked in the parts diagram and spent hours searching the web. The motor has 3 carbs. I am assuming one carb goes directly to one side of the solenoid, the other two carbs are T'd to the second side of the solenoid? I need to know which carbs go to which side of the solenoid. Thank you.

These are not vacuum lines !!!!!!!-----The bigger hose supplies fuel to the solenoid valve.---When there is pressure on the fuel system you push in the key and fuel then goes to the small lines to provide fuel for start up.----Does not matter which hose goes to which carburetor.

There are no vacuum lines to the solenoid. They are all pressure lines. Most of the solenoid caps have two tips for outgoing fuel to the tops of the carbs. One tip feeds one of the carbs. The other tip must feed two carbs, so you will need a plastic "t", which is sold by Bombardier so that you can split the line to feed remaining two carbs. By the way, that tee is item # 24 on the factory exploded parts lists, part number 325569. The page of the factory parts lists that shows this is called the "electric fuel primer system." See epc.brp.com FYI- the fuel inlet is the larger nipple on the solenoid body.

Thanks for the clarification. I have the fuel line attached. I was not sure if the smaller (which I thought were vacuum) pressure hoses mattered which carb/side of the primer solenoid they went to. I have the T already. Thanks!
