I found the source of my minor fuel leak at Carb. The plastic fuel inlet is cracked. Now what do I need to do? Can I purchase a new plastic port and have it just slide onto the brass OEM stub? Or am I going to need to remove the brass stub from the Carb. and replace it with a new complete brass port. It looks like a big hassle to remove the exsisting brass stub. Any Ideas? Can I just connect the fuel line to the brass port or is there more to it?

Thx

Easy fix and it's one of my products.

Got tired of the plastic ones breaking.

Exclamation

Went one step better (I hope) bought the Mikuni HSR42 from ya. One thing I am a little concerned with is the choke placement on this carb. It is on the RH side where my stock is on the LH. I have the carb installed and all hooked up but the choke cable setup seems a little odd. Really twisted around rather than a straight run as before.

I did change the spring and plunger. If I am missing something let me know ASAP as I will be putting the tanks back on tomorrrow.

Thx

Does the enrichener knob pull out and go back in as easy as before without binding?

I have not come across or heard of anyone with an enrichener problem.
