The valve is located on the down tube behind the carbs. It is a little plastic part clipped to the front of that tube. It is more likely the you may have a kink at the front tank mount if the tank has ever been off. Try cracking the gas cap and see if that solves the issue if it does then you have a breather problem. If it doesn't you have another issue.
