79 GS1000L carb to carb fuel lines/connectors

[Guest]

I did try searching for this but didn't find anything.

Has anyone figured out a good replacement for the carb to carb fuel supply line/connector? This is where the fuel line from the petcock goes into a T conector and into carb 2 and 3. Then there is a connector going from carb 1-2 and from carb 3-4.

I have the non o-ring version and its leaky. the original part is discontinued.

I was thinking of threading in some type of fuel connector or something.


Thanks in advance!

Are they broken/perished/ripped or just dry. Those connectors leak if they've not been used in a while like when rebuilding carbs. If they are dry they will swell again when they've been in contact with gas again. When I refit them after a rebuild I prime the system ready for them to leak but they always seal up by the next day.

They had a bit of a "crust" on part that goes into the carb and dirty/grime on the outside part. I didnt want to install them just to have them leak.

I was thinking about tapping the hole and threading in some connectors.

Maybe post in the parts wanted forum? This seems like the kind of thing some members here would have lounging around in their parts bins.
