Fuel leaking from carb T-fitting

Hey guys,

Well unfortunately I have a fuel leak from my 78 gs750 Carb T-fitting, yes the one that is discontinued!

What does everyone do to fix this? Where can I find the one that uses the O-rings? I cannot find an OEM Suzuki part number!

My bike is ready to ride except for this fuel leak from the T-fitting!
 
Let it sit overnight. It may swell back up and seal itself

I think Z1 stocks a replacement T
 
It was leaking last year so I took the carbs off and replaced the float bowl gaskets thinking that was the problem, just put it back together and started it up and it is obviously still leaking.

Does anyone know of a replacement part number through Z1 or where to get the T-fitting that takes the o-rings?
 
Heres the transfer tubes..

Heres the fuel tee..

IMPORTANT NOTE:::: The orings that come on them from Z1 are just a tad tight..and hard to get installed. What I do is to get the hemostats out and pinch a wad of 000 steel wool and twist it around in the carb body to smooth the hole out and get it shiney and smooth. Then I use a Qtip and put a thin smear of grease in the hole. Grease the orings and press them in as straight as you can.

If you get them at an angle and dont prep the holes and grease them you stand a chance of the orings tearing. I love Z1...dont get me wrong here...BUT their orings are a pain in the azs to use.

Perfect, thanks Chuck ��, I love this website!
 
If you need a cheap quick fix go to Harbor Freight and buy a can of liquid pliers, the stuff you paint on handles of pliers for better grip. Paint the ends of the fuel tubes with a q-tip lightly, let it dry over night on a piece of wire and put them in the next day. Obviously this isn't as good as the new tubes with O-rings but it will work until you get the good ones or until they start to leak which is a long time
