I cannot get my lady to behave below 5000 rpm, and i guess that I have a vacuum leak.

I am on my way to change the tubing, and are looking for new carb joints.

A while ago they were tons of them on ebay, now I cannot find them. Anyone know where they went???

Somebody, K&L I think, was making reproductions at one time but I believe they are out of production. They had been popping up on ebay. I got a set a couple of years ago so I haven't been looking. Have you tried the liquid electrical tape repair?

Does YIC still supply them?  A former Vnary Guzzi John Pierson ,called the tech department at Dennis Kirk , with dimensions and they came up with a set that worked fine. Since your so far away perhaps an email would work.

I found them - it was not carb joints, but Anzaugstutzen that was listed....

But they are not exactly for free...

Still less than the Yamaha dealers get for them!   ::)

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.
