Carb Fuel Supply T

Anyone know where I can find new plastic T's that joins the carbs together and the fuel line hooks to? Mine has molded rubber indtead of O rings, and after the winter they leak. Pulled them of and the rubber is cracked. Other ideas would be appreciated.

there should be metal under the molded rubber. Cut off the old rubber and get some O rings from the auto parts store. Correct sizing is pretty much a guessing game but they are cheap. That should seal you up. I had the same problem this year

Thanks for the info. i tried the O rings but was concerned that might slip off without a groove to hold them in place. Instead, I cut a piece of fuel hose and put a piece on each metal end of the tee. Worked like a charm. The vent is a little loose,but shouldn't matter. Got the bike back together and rode away, no leaks. Thanks again.

Had the same problem with my 79 XS1100F. I had the same concerns with O-rings. Took care of it by gooping them up with some Permatex. Works like a charm; stays pliable and cleans up with lacquer thinner.
