Title: carbs done...hose fitting required!!
Post by: Wendy Eitzen on July 20, 2004, 07:16:52 AM

Thanks guys for all the advice on tank repair and carb cleaning not too long ago.

The tank is finished. I cleaned the carbs last night and they are MUCH cleaner!

However, as I was attempting to remove a black plastic hose fitting, it broke off. If you go to the http://parts.yamaha-motor.com website and go to the parts catalog under 1982 XZ550RJ carburetor diagram, it's the fitting that hose #8 fits on, but it's not shown in the diagram. It's located on the top left of the front carb.

Does anyone know if I can find a replacement piece somehow, or know if superglue could do the trick? Open to suggestions. (SOL)
