Carb inlet replacemnt "T's" source??
Between carb 1&2 and 3&4 there are little rubber T's mine are both split and the OEM replacements are prohibitvely priced. Anyone know of an altenrantive source or home made replacments.

It was reported here that tees of aquarium equipment (small air pumps are common there) work.
Maybe on should try to soak them in fuel for a few days before installation to be sure they can stand it.

Did you have a chance to try the aquarium equipment solution yet? I am in the market for a pair of those T's myself.

I used fuel line and drilled a small hole on it and jammed a vacuum fitting in it. I did use the original parts on another bike though. They lasted this long will out last my riding days.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
Re: Carb inlet replacemnt "T's" source??
Is there a way to install this without separating the carbs? My Clymer manual does not even tell how to do this, it only recommends leaving separation of 1/2 and 3/4 to the experts.

I doubt you could do it without separating them. Although very vague My clymers does give the steps to remove 1 and 4 but recommends 2&3 to be taken in. Probably for the springs that frequently are installed wrong.

I ordered the OEM parts. It is not difficult to separate the carbs for the installof these fittings. I like the idea of fuel line and a small barb. Aquarium fittings are male t's need 1/2" wide with female soft ends. Doubt it would be gasahol compatible.
This is an extremely poor design when Keihin could have easily counterbored the opening and used a t fitting with "O" rings that would have lasted forever.

Maybe for others who still need them
Those are nothing like the parts required.

Sorry then, I don't know what "T" you're talking about. These are what I have on mine.

This is what we are talking about.

Re: Carb inlet replacemnt "T's" source??
Took approx 1/2 in of fuel line. Dont remember the size but thinking 1/4 inch. Bought 1/8 x 1/4 vacuum line adapters. Drilled a small hole in the fuel line smaller than 1/8 inch as best as u can drill rubber. Jamed the 1/8 end in with a little holymar (sp) sealant. Then you have the 1/4 end to add tubing to do go where you want. These are only vents and most times dont have fuel in them. The nitehawk I bought last summer had the same set up in it and we drive the piss out of it till the tank started leaking.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
Re: Carb inlet replacemnt "T's" source??
OK, so this is only a vent. That's good. I'm not yet to the point of assembling/installing the carb to know what it did, I only know mine was broken.
I made version of what you did, and it is set up drying right now.
