In need of help finding info for carb part (77 550F)
« on: February 02, 2018, 03:40:37 PM »
So i'm in need of locating info for the little tube that connects with the carbs. There's only two pieces that are about an inch maybe an inch and a quarter long. I've tried searching at auto stores but i cannot find anything similar to it. CMSNL doesn't list the specifics for this part. any help or info would be appreciated. thank you

Not that part, I'm assuming you're talking of the T bit with the two o-rings on either end? The part I'm asking about is a rubber part that connects on the two nipples, there's only two of them, I believe it sits above the T connection. I hope that helps :-\

Not really, I can't remember much about the FourK and haven't looked at F1 for some years now.
I get the feeling they are to link breathers on FourK bikes with PD carbs?
Just too lazy to hunt down manual tonight (2 yr old grandson wears me out  - more go than te Energizer bunny'  ;D )

Heh, I'm sure they do. I appreciate you taking time to discuss the matter. I might just have to take one of the carbs to a auto shop and have them take a look at it.

Could you post a picture? I think it's possible without 3rd party hosting (been a while since I was on here)

The 77 F has the earlier style carbs, but that was my wild ass guess at what he was alluding to.  I think it's 3.5mm I.D. tubing.
But, then, those garden gnomes are sooo wiley.   ;D
I'm just glad they aren't after my underpants.
Got enough chafing...

Cheers,
