Topic: gas leaking from carb T junction

[aminemed]

hi all

i had to work on my carbs lately and i had to separate carb 4 and 3. Since then, i have a strong leak from the T junction between those 2 carbs. I took off my carbs 3 times since the leak to figure out where it is coming from first then to check the o rings. These seem to be still in a good shape. What else can i do to stop this leak? It is even more leaking when i ride the bike in the streets (dont want to catch fire etc..)

it is a 750 with 657b carbs

replace the o-rings.  some may disagree but i took mine down to the auto parts store and found some that fit.  haven't leaked since.

thank you

to be able to ride before buying new orings i put some jb weld around the t junction, dont know if it will be fuel resistant.

dont put jb weld on that junction or you will never be able to get it apart, I highly do not recommend doing that,

thx what about polyester filler ?

New o rings are the correct fix. Goop will just make a worse mess. 2x8mm or as close as you can get.

2x8 work well for me also. Bought a whole bag  on E-bay for a few bucks. Somebody will curse you someday using JB Weld in that spot
