Dicontinued Carb Part?

[mills]

My 78 GS1000 fuel inlet nipple thing is leaking and I'm pretty sure it has been discontinued. Is there any source for these parts? It's located between carbs 2 and 3 and takes fuel from the tank and distributes it to carbs. #46

There are replacement out there, not cheap $40-50. You can usuall y get them to work by putting an O ring between the carb and the fuel T flange

Wrap it in teflon tape, that will usually work.

I'll give the teflon tape a try, thanks.

If the bike has been dry they very often swell up with fresh petrol - try soaking it in some fuel.

Either that or:
