Muniki carb leak at Tee

[Veez_strom]

I've cleaned, dipped, and rebuilt my carbs.
I replaced the orings with Rob barrs kits.
Finally after many false starts I got the carbs in sync. (Thanks Paul and Todd)

I now have a leak at the fuel line tee o-rings between the 2 and 3 carb.
These are not replaceable. Is anyone aware of a sealant or something I could use to stop this leak?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

The carbs a for a 1977-1978 GS 750E

I have sealed them with a few wraps of Teflon tape.

Just be careful to wrap so that no pieces are likely to break off and plug your jets.

I used teflon tape as well and it worked. You can buy a replacement tee that uses replaceable o rings as well, but the tape will get you on the road!

I checked Bikebandit and Mr Motorcycle with no luck. Any idea where I could get the Tee with orings. I am reassembling the bike and hope to fix this leak right and once.

Thanks,

Z-1

I seem to recall seeing them at Z-1 Enterprises. The one they had was brass (I think) and was listed for a Kawasaki but I'm almost sure it's the same thing.

Auto Zone and the like sell T's but they are for winshield wiper lines, they look to be about the same size, made out of plastic, would this work???

+1 on Z1 Enterprises. Here's the link. http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1910

Actually, I'm surprised it's not listed in the Suzuki category too. Jeff should know it will fit. Maybe you should call and ask first.

If you want to pay a premium for a brass tee, you want to try www.motorcyclecarbs.com Alas, their link appears to be broken at the moment.

That T looks identical to the 550 part but it looks pretty narrow for the larger GS bikes where the carb spacing is wider. Hope it works but no guarantee.

Not sure how useful this will be to you but I did the carbs on my 850 over a period of a couple of weeks. The fuel T dried out evidently and fuel just poured out when I tried to prime them. After a while (few hours), the rubber swells back up again and it sealed itself. No problems from that day to this (with the T leaking anyway).

Yes!

Yes, that's certainly worth mentioning. I've had slight leaks a couple of times but it resolves itself, as you say, in just a short while.

Aloha!
