Default ZX6R Carbs Fuel Inlet

Having a hard time making sense of the zx6r service manual, can anyone advise where the fuel inlet is on the carbs? Is it the plastic rail that goes along the top that splits to go into what looks like carb 2 & 3? Or does it go into the bit at the bottom of the carb in the center?

I took a photo of my carbs. Hope it makes things a little clearer as you can see the fuel hose going into the bottom centre of the carbs.

Nice one cheers deeze. What are the hoses along the top then and do I need them or should they be removed?

I've left them on to stop any crap going into the top of the carbs. I thought they are originally for engine coolant to circulate to stop the carbs from freezing? Although I'm probably wrong.

No idea but that would make sense. It's hard to tell what they are looking at the manual as the pictures are quite rubbish. the only other thing I could think of that they could be is vacum tubes maybe?
