So Im trying to order everything I need 1st but Im having trouble finding the main gas line T. The aluminum covered in rubber one. Also I cant get the jet that sits right above the main jet out. Every one of the heads on them, not stripped, but broke off when I was trying to unscrew them. Does anyone know the drill size to drill it out. I really dont want to mess this up! And Im trying to see if I can replace the mesh filter on the carb float valve if thats possible.

After all this info I hope to receive Im also looking for the instructions on this website on how to install each o-ring.


Thanks in advance.

Ok I never recommend easy outs for anything but pilot jets. If that's what you are even talking about. Can you post pics before I get all blowhard about possibly the wrong thing?

lol ok here it is. The one with my finger on it.

Oh and thats the the gas feed T i need to buy. Its to the right of the carb

What's wrong with the T?

Get an Easy out and a drill. Drill out the center of the pilot jet to the right size for the easy out to bite. Before trying to get it out heat the area with a torch till it's very hot. Then try the easy out.

Hi,

I don't see your bike's year and model in your signature file. But the fuel "T" for a lot of the '80-'83 750s and 850s is part# 13685-45110 and is available for around $25 depending on where you shop. Yeah, I know it's a little pricey. But if you get a new one you won't have to worry about it for another 25 years or so. Is yours leaking?


Thank you for your indulgence,

Might not hurt to squirt a little PB in that hole.

well the jets are so old they crumbled when i tried to twist them out (just the heads). and the rubber parts around the T r coming off. Its not leaking but i want to do it right the 1st time.

Hi,

Click on the "User CP" link in the upper left corner and put this information in your signature file. Then you won't have to type it and we won't have to ask.

If they crumbled when ya put a screw driver to they're sure to crumble when ya try to drill em.
Never heard of brass just crumbling though.

Thank you BassCliff. But yea same here not a single other jet are like these. The other one will just strip were these crack apart. So should I just drill them out?

Hi,

I think that's your only option. Be very, very careful. Do you have a vice and a drill press, etc?
