    Can a fuel line on a GS1000 be properly replaced and clamped without removing the carbs?

      Yup. Take the tank off. But of a squeeze but easily done.

        Long needle nosed pliers or hemos will aid in getting the spring clamp on and off.

        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.

          Geez, not simple to me... I couldn't get the line around the fitting. I ended up cutting a straight run of a coat hanger. Place it straight down through carb 2 and 3 and into the fitting.

          I then put the line over the hanger and let it slide down onto the fitting. The hanger/rod allowed perfect placement on the fitting, as well as provided some leverage to pop it over the two ridges.
