    O-Rings?

    '83 GS1100ES. I have leaking fuel tubes. Replace O-rings I think to myself. I looked it up on a parts fische, the don't exist! I haven't pulled the carbs apart yet, but how else do they seal? Or is some sort of scam to get you to buy new fuel tubes, just like Honda CM400 and their rear sprockets. Anybody that's ever replaced them knows what I'm talking about....

    Take a look at the fuel tubes. If they are bare zinc (or aluminum) then they have O-rings. If they have a black plastic coating on them, they don't and you will have to get new ones.

      They exist except for the "T" in the middle. The other tubes have removable orings & I have them in stock. Robert Barr, a member here sells them in kits & is an AWESOME guy to deal with! I buy the kits I use & sell from him.
