    carb fuel tee

    how does one change fuel tees between carbs.is it just o-ring that go bad. do you have to separate the carbs. mine just started to leak. also the the fuel petcocks wont shut off.oh the problems keep coming.guess nothing last forever.
    when you want something bad enough, don't let anything stand in your way, and don't take "no" for an answer. EVER

      Graybird,

      The fuel taps can be repaired, there are kits for everything. Do you still have the vacuum shutoff valve/Octy or is it gone? Here's a tutorial:-

      Yes, you have to separate the carburetors to fix the tees. That will be an adventure but it's not too bad. The fuel tees are solid rubber molded over metal and they're available but they're expensive. You can repair the old ones with some o-rings:-

          You can also buy new all brass tee'S from SCI. They are high quality but they are about $20 a pop.

              Graybird,

              If you follow Scott's (3Phase) link to the Carb Tee Repair, Marty does post the link to SCI (Sirius Consolidated Inc.) at the end of the repair procedure.

              At the moment, they appear to be out of stock on the fuel tees (T4), but if you're interested in this option, you could try E-mailing them.

              And here is the link to the petcock repair kit from Georgefix:

              XS1100 SPECIAL PETCOCK REBUILD KIT

              It has everything you need to repair both petcocks and the Octy (if you still have the Octy).
