I thought I suffered a bad gas incident. Apparently something ATE through the upper fuel line just befor the "T" connector at the carbs.
Now then, here's the weird part:
It runs with only the lower line feeding the carbs.
It's popping alot, once it warms up.
The upper line was clogged, and I reattached it with fresh fuel line this morning (Saturday) but the "T" is damaged, and leaks like a seive.
Where can I find a replacement "T" for that particular connector, and since it's going in Monday or Tuesday for new rubber, should I just have them do it all ?
Man, I've got some stress right now with 12hr days/7 days a week.
Thanks.
Upper T is overflow and atmospheric equaliser. Block it off and watch the fun ...
The popping is either dirty or lean or sucking air.
The leaking is another error from somewhere ... float set too high, bad O rings, bad gaskets ... take your choice.
I have been rejetting them in the process for $45 parts and labor included. Mini cleaning and setting all the stuff and some O rings are replaced in that $$. Just not float bowl gaskets or needle valves. They cost like $12 something each. I can do that if you send it to me. I have some carb parts I can swap out if they are the problem too.
Else we can help you figure out and trouble shoot.
Cool.

yea, the top T connector is not really a fuel line. It's just vents to air and acts as an overflow outlet. Your carbs are dirty and need to be cleaned. One of both of the float valves are probably sticking.
