Leaky O-rings on the Carb Nipples/ T connectors
Ok with the help of my buddy I got my bike running again. Seems to be idling right this time. Now it's leaking gas out of the T connectors between the carbs. It seems that the o-ring is torn. Can I replace this with any correct sized o-ring?Last edited by mrhedges; 03-30-2017, 09:39 PM.1981 GS 850G

Since you "failed to clean it correctly and set the floats right", why not just take the carbs off and do them correctly?
Get the o-ring kit from member Robert Barr at cycleorings.com, it comes with ALL the proper o-rings you will need.
Did you replace the o-rings on the intake boots? He has them, too, along with stainless bolts that hold the boots to the engine.

Ok, you have edited your original statement to remove the offending phrase, but it is still quoted in my response.
You only said you did not do it correctly, you did not say that you had re-done the job.
That said, if you have metal Ts, as pictured, they are not stock, so the cycleoring kit will not have enough to do them, as well.
If you choose to locate some locally, just make sure they are the right material to handle gasoline.
