Anyone else ever break the lower fuel line T, its the line from the fuel petcock to the middle of the carbs.  :2guns: its like one problem to the next...
Anyways I'll look into a OEM filter and hope that works...other than that Now its the fuel line issue...thanks guys I will definitely post the results and more info as it happens.

Yes.  I broke mine by over tightening a hose clamp that was holding crappy old fuel line to the carb when I first bought the bike.  Took the opportunity to replace the T and the 2 gas seals on it along with all the fuel lines and clamps.  I recommend OEM fuel lines and the OEM type spring clamps so you don't damage it again.  Crappy part is that you have to split the carbs to get at that T, so you will have to take out all those JIS bolts.  I recommend buying actual JIS bits here, or just using a dremel to slot the screws so you can get them out with a flat head.  Replace them with stainless steel socket head cap bolts when you are putting it back together.

Might as well get an OEM air filter while you are at it.

going to get a air filter within the next week or so, for now i want to replace the broken fuel T and see if anything else needs replacing while im at it. so...
does anyone have an extra T or know where to get one semi quick that isnt a million bucks... theres no suzuki dealer here just other dealers that make prices outrageous so thats why i ask. if not il travel and find one. this is what mine looks like currently (why it leaks is obvious)


if anyones lost, its the fuel T that is glued with a white looking paste, it connects the two bowls to the fuel petcock.

If you are on the west coast, order through bikebandit.com, and if on the east or Midwest order from Ronayers.com. Either one will probably have to get the part from a Suzuki parts warehouse, so it will take a little time.

ordered, thanks.  :)
now i just have to wait until i get to separate he carbs  :woohoo: :bs: :2guns: :icon_sad:
