[Agemax]

it would help if you listed what parts you need......

Is the leak coming from the link tube?

JB Weld isn't fuel resistant so don't bother using it on your carbs.

[Ghost007]

the t fittings and the connecting tubes sorry

[hampshirehog]

Has the bike been stood for a while with no fuel in the carbs? If so, how long?

[Ghost007]

it was stored this winter with tank off but it wAS DOING IT just before it was stored

[Agemax]

whatever happens you will need to strip and seperate the carbs to fix the leak.
take them apart and then determine the problem.
while they are apart it gives you the ideal opportunity to dip them and give them a proper good clean

the t fittings and the connecting tubes sorry

Is that not them on this parts fiche, part nos. 75, 77, and 79.

The rubbers can shrink when the bike is out of use but will swell up on contact with petrol and are fine again. However, as yours were leaking when the bike was in use they are probably boogered (but worth dunking in petrol overnight to see if it cures).

Robinsons still stock new ones in the UK if that's any use to you.

Between the two and three is a fuel T
I have one of those
The others have o-rings.
Do not put JB Weld on your carbs.

if it is an emergency the "wrap them with some teflon tape" trick works pretty good, too.
