Why do the '83 carbs recirculate fuel back to the fuel tank?

Wish I could answer more of your 83 carb questions, but they're a bit different than the 82s & I've never had a good look at them.  As for the fuel recirculating, this prevents the fuel in the float bowls from overheating & boiling.  The 82s have this problem, making them difficult to start when hot.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

it's just a different mouse trap. Just a different way of excess pressure from the OEM pump to go somewhere. Put an electric pump on and you can forget everything. Leave it on prime and ride....
