  • O-ring size for 1980 carb T's between carbs

    Anyone know off hand what size these are so I order some? De-ganged my carbs today and the T's between them's O-rings are looking about 33 yrs old.
    Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

    Just to be sure, for an XS11?? bikerphil had posted Carb Tee Repair thread in the repair section. Check this thread.

    I have the T-4 fuel T that Marty referenced. I measure OD at 10mm. ID is 7mm so the P6 ID size will give the snug fit to hold the 'O' in place. Got my carb 3 to 4 T' in ok with the brass T-4. It is a nice upgrade. Plan to do carb 1 to 2 T' later today. The P6 Nitrile that bikerphil shows should do the trick for you. -and yeah, after all those years the T's seals get real nasty, shrink & crack.

    Hope that helps!
