Wanted! Hard to get

[ragecage23]

I'm looking for one two pronged plastic piece that is attached to the top of the carburetor. It's for a 2009 GS500F. It's the two pronged piece just to the right of part number 83.

Can anyone help?

Looks like a simple Tee fitting. You can get 1/4" nylon fittings like this in the plumbing section of Lowes and HD.

That would be great if he needed part #83. But since he needs the part "just to the right of 83" I don't think Lowes or Home Depot are the answer.

Correct slack, not the T connection. The two pronged plastic piece just the the right, attached to the cover assembly.

I just had a thread about this a couple weeks ago. I guess you can't buy that part alone.

What is wrong with the two prong fitting? My problem was that One of my prongs snapped off.
I fixed it with liquid weld and can post a picture of how I did that if you would like.

Same happened for me, except a shop did it and they're not willing to pay to fix it since they can't just buy the one part. I don't have the piece to glue back on

I would complain again to that shop.  If they admit that they did it, and the only reason they gave for not rectifying it is that it costs to much, that's not good enough.

Is there a way you can turn the piece upside down so that you can still put the vacuum line on the right side of the fitting? Or does that not work?

Mechanics don't care about your bike. Nor do they intimately know it. Which is why you should do work yourself, imho.

That won't work. One port is open and one port is sealed shut.

You're right, but I'm a very passive kind of guy and will probably let it pass

I agree with you, I do like doing my own work, but I have zero experience with carbs and I was afraid I would mess something up real bad.

Take a look at this post: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=68845.0

You could but the carbs he has listed for $50 and take the part you need. Then tell the shop they owe you $50. 

[ragecage23]

I've asked him about the carbs, just haven't gotten a response back.
