77 GS750 fuel tee

[Guest]

hey all. i have a 77 GS750 that im currently building. i took the carbs apart to clean them and the "T" for the fuel inlet at the carbs was broken on both sides. i cant for the life of me find a new one. theres places on ebay that ive found that makes one but every one i can find lists it for an 80 and up. one i found that does not list the year but lists it just for a GS and its 46.8 wide and is for a VM29. if im correct from my searching i have a VM26. any help steering me in the right direction to find the part would be appreciated. i cant measure the old "T" cause its in pieces. i could re mount the carbs to the plate and take a guess on a measurement. it would probably be pretty close if i did it that way. or i look into making one. i cant find squat on ebay for my year.

I think item "ZSM05-1010 - Fuel Pipe Joint Aluminum" on page https://www.z1enterprises.com/store/...750b-1977/carb is what you are looking for

that looks exactly what i need. thanks! only problem is when i look up the phish some oem parts places have a few different ones. theres a bunch of sub models listed for my year. E B C EC etc. one of the sub model listings has the exact same pn as the one listed in the link you gave me and the other is one number off. from my reading it looks like 77,78,79 were just GS750 with no sub model.

They changed that fuel tee at least twice according to this page: http://cycleorings.com/VMkit.html

so if im reading it right the part is the same but the o-rings are what may be different.

ill have to measure it up tonight and see if i can figure it out.

I think the different tees use the same O rings, just a different number of them. My 77 uses the tee with 2 O rings per side. Not sure if it's stock, but I have no reason to believe it's not. I'm guessing any tee will work with your carbs, regardless of the number of O rings it uses. Maybe of the gurus can confirm.

The fuel tee for 77/78/79 GS 750s and 1000s are the same animal. 2 orings per side. In 80 they started using the schitzy plastic ones with the rubber seals on them...avoid the ruuber and plastic tees and crossover tubes.

My '79 had the schitzy plastic ones. Must have been put on by the PO. It now resides in the landfill.

They may have been on 79s..but for sure on 80 models. Such a poor replacement for the superior metal / oring styled ones.
