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.

Had to go with ABS black plastic t's on the 650C carbs I just rebuilt.  I found them at Ace and they cost $1.70 each.  I had to rip the old rubber ones off of the aluminum tube and sand off the glue.  The ID was a little small so I drilled them out just enough so they fit tight.  I had to cut some length off to make them fit between the carbs as well.  They really only vent the float bowls but given the trouble I read about with cb650's having acceleration problems related to these vents I figured they were worth the trouble to hook back up.  The original ones list for about $45.00 each on my local dealers on line parts fish so I didn't even try to see if they are still in stock.
