Plumbed all carb breathers into 2... right or wrong?

G'day, I'm now questioning my earlier decision to plumb all of the carb breather hoses into two final outlet hoses, simply using hose tail 'Tee' fittings, purely for simplification.

If there are certain hoses off the carb requiring vacuum for any reason, plumbed inline with fuel vapour/ vent hoses etc., could this be problematic???

Not sure if there is any substance to that theory/train of thought, just need to know if I should undo the custom plumbing or not? Can't say I noticed any real change after the mod.

Any input would be appriciated.

I blocked all mine bar one and the overflow pipe. they both go into a filter

all the breathers go to the same place in the carb I think there are so many so there is less chance they will get blocked up or saturated with fuel depending on which side you fall off on ( bike won't run if they do. )

if the filter gets blocked up or saturated with fuel my bike won't run, probably better to have 2 filters and seperate the overflow from the breather.

the overflow and the breathers let dirt into the intake.

I made the filter/s from 3/4" polypipe and some spear plug drip irrigation fittings, pipe has old air filter foam inside it and a cable tie each end to stop the foam comming out.
