I know BIKERPHIL recently posted a repair for the carburetor tees. I've been trying to find that post and I've had no luck. I expect that will be moved to the repair section soon enough. As it stands, I'm afraid I don't know how to use the search function very well.
I would also like to point out that there are options to Phil's repair. (not that you'll need them
)
1J7-14988-00-00 PIPE,STARTER CON is still available from the dealer, if your pockets are deep. That part fits the '78 & '79 XS1100. I found it for as cheap as about $35 ea! (2 are required)
3H3-14988-00-00 PIPE,STARTER CON is NLA. (no longer available) That is the tee for the '80 & '81 XS1100, and also the XJ1100.
I had to fix or replace mine before Phil posted his repair. I'm not nearly as clever as he is, so I went elsewhere.
I found my replacements at Sirius Consolidated, Inc. They are superior parts @ $19 ea.
I looked at Mike's XS, but the XS650 tee is not a match for the XS1100.
The top one is for the earlier bikes.

That, and I really like this stuff.
