HOW MANY LINES FROM CARB NEED TO BE EXTENDED HIGHER

There are two short vent lines that cross over the front of the carb that need to be extended and routed up under the headlight pod. There is also a drain hose that runs down just by the right rear tire that needs to be plugged off. A golf tee works great for a plug.
Fourbypoor is yours a 450 or 500? There might be a difference.

500 BIGDADDY
then yes what Grtwhthntr said is what you need there is a vent on the front diff that runs into the front of the frame on ther right side. 1 vent for the rear diff, 1 vent for the rear brake, and 2 vents for the cooling fan that all run up to the front and are ran into the frame on the left side. hope this helps also
FYI, The fan vents are 3/8...
what size are the rest and can these be ran into a snorkel or is it best if they just get ran to the handle bars

im not sure of the sizes, i just cut a piece off and took it to store and matched them up. you DONT want to run it into the snorkel. it will create a vaccum on the lines. run to handle bars, loop, and ziptie it.
loop it just once or severel times? this will make it so that you dont have to worry about it any more?
I am not sure what he means by looping, I think he means on the holders in the top of the carb(little gold colored bracket). If you look in the How to section on page 2 of the Foreman 500 snorkel, you can see mine. I just ran clear tubing, connection onto the factory lines with an attachement. the routed next to the gas tank and up to the handle bars. I think all the other vent lines are 3/16, with the exception of the fan.
