Default 1996 seadoo xp fuel line mixup

Hi all,
Just became new member
I was replacing my 1996 xp Seadoo grey fuel lines with black lines

I never marked them before I pulled them
When I pulled one of the 4 going into the fuel tank, they all came out together and I don't know which is the front right, front left, rear right, rear left

Also, I did the same thing happened on the 3 lines on fuel value, and the 2 on fuel filter

Can some let me know which lines go into each of these places


Thanks

Pull the baffle out. It is marked. So is the valve. Baffle: vent goes up toward handle bars and vents through Hull. Res to reserve on valve. On to on on the valve. Return line comes from Carb and is upper hose on Carb. The remaining spot on fuel valve goes to the filter to the arrow in. Arrow out goes to the bottom fitting on Carb. Make sure the valve is not clogged.

Thanks guys
Grim187- a picture paints a 1000 words
PWCpro- everything was just as you said. I labled everything now
I cleaned filter-was ok
Cleaned valve- was very dirty (had many particulets)
Pulled baffle- screen on bottom needed very little clean
Fired right up in garage
Will have to test in water
Thanks for your help

Hey guys,
Too ski out on lake yesterday
Start out of water
In water started then eventually died
Tried repeatedly with same results
gave up
Went home
Tried my first time at cleaned carbs
Fuel filters were partially blocked:
first one was 25% block
second was 5% block
put back together and primed it
Tried to start it, but now it would not even fire
Two steps backwards,huh!
So I looked on youtube
Saw this:
Then I remember taking apart unit like this guy on youtube
I cant remember seeing a magnet either
I'll try to tomorrow to see if magnet is on the bottom of tank too
Do you have tips?
Maybe when I put the carbs together, didnt do something back right

Hi again,
Two steps forward, three steps backwards, again
Now engine will not fire (except, yesterday 1 time)
I've tried countless times to start it, but with no avail.
So here is the total work I did:
1. New engine (great compression test doing fine)[had someone else install that]
2. Installed All new black fuel lines installed
3. Cleaned fuel filter with aceotone and blew out with air hose
4. Cleaned fuel valve with aceotone and blew out with air hose
5. Cleaned carbs with aceotone and blew out with air hose (jets and etc.)
6. Fixed fuel sending unit by installing new magnet (at least this works)

Talked to a mechanic yesterday, He said to adjust carbs, but when he looked at the manifold he said it was not stock, it is a "Rossier".
He also said it should have a bigger jet but did not know how big it should be off-hand.
He said it is difficult to adjust carb because of the "Rossier manifold" and the adjustment should be done in the water.

Soooooo, questions:
1. Any suggestions on checking or cleaning anything else to get this thing to fire-up again
2. How do I know how to check the jet size?
3. I just thought of something else now, which jet or both.
4. How do I adjust low idle and mix screws and do I even mess with the high idle

Thanks for your help!
