    Do you mean the fuel tee?? Is it the part where the fuel line form the tank connects to? That will require removing the carbs and pulling them apart and building or buying new fuel T.

        Fuel tees

        If you have to take them apart, you may as well change the butterly shaft seals as well. You can get them from Mike's XS. May save you some headaches later down the road. Jus a thought.
