    Carb Fuel Joint

    Does anybody know where to get a fuel joint for Mikuni Carbs VM 26's(I believe) 78' Suzuki GS 1000. The rubber on my fuel joint was breaking off, I tried placing a bunch of O rings on both ends of the T joint and glued them down with some locktite oil and gas resistant adhesive. I think it was working but now I just wanna get it done right. I checked Z1 I think they have one just didn't know if there was anywhere else. Thanks

    to my knowledge Z1 is the only place.

      Try http://www.sudco.com/
      If I Recall Correctly, they had them listed in their catalogue.

        If you should find a supplier pass along the info. I would also insist on getting the Oring slotted one. That way when you get a rebuild kit From CycleOrings,com ( Robert Barr here on the forum ) youll get the fresh fuel tee andn transfer tube orings as well.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            I've used Z1's and they work great. As well they have the replaceable o-rings on them.

              Ed, I think that may have been where I saw them listed. I couldn't remember for sure who had them for sale.

                They should be VM26ss carbs...measure the inside diameter of the carb throat on the engine side and that will tell you the story.
