Mikuni VM26 Carb Fitting Replacement Source

[Guest]

Hey all. I'm in process of redoing the carbs on my 1979 GS750L. Have found great resources here and reading all the posts have been very helpful so far. I have been unable to locate the tee and nipple fittings the feed fuel between the carbs. These are the type that do not use O-rings, but are formed rubber to make the seal. These are items 45/46 in the diagram. I've looked on motorcyclecarbs.com, and z1enterprises.com with no luck. I've read they may not be available. What are my options for replacing these as the originals are dried out.

Worse comes to worse I might try cutting a groove into the existing and fitting an o-ring, but that is my last resort. I don't mind paying whats needed If I'm assured new ones will work. I've had this bike since new, and want to get it back on the road.

Thanks for any advice.

By the way..the 1000 and the 750s are the same fuel tee and transfer tubes...there just VM 26 carbs.

Welcome to the site.
Just a reminder that most but not all Z1 products are listed in their on-line catalog.
I would contact them directly [they even answer the phone sometimes] and see if they have what you are looking for.

Rob , Jeff, or Chris have always answered EVERY TIME that I have called. Unless all 3 are busy they will always answer the phone and be of great service and very friendly.
