Author Message   Yooper71 Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 08:29 am:        I need to replace the fuel inlet fitting on my carb (stock). I noticed the other day when I had it running that it's leaking and has a crack in the plastic. How do I get the fuel inlet fitting off? Thought I'd ask before I get to far into it.   S2pengy Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 12:22 pm:        Pulls off but could require a tap to grab it if it breaks off flush... Seen them in catalogs like J&P   Bluelightning Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 12:46 pm:        When you replace it, try to get the brass fitting as opposed to the plastic fitting for the exact reason you a having. As an added bonus, I believe the brass fitting flows a little more than that plastic garbage too.   Mikej Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 01:04 pm:        Got a pic? (note to self, check this this weekend on the S2)   Yooper71 Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 01:21 pm:        I picked up the new fitting last night, and it is the brass one. Thanks for the input!!   Mikej Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 01:45 pm:        (Note to self: Hit dealership on the way home to get a fitting; back up truck after hitting dealership and check for damage; go inside if nobody saw me hit the building and get a carb fuel inlet fitting; leave before they see the wall plaster and my front bumper sitting in the parking lot.)   Bluelightning Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 01:57 pm:        They are fairly cheap, I believe they are from the older carbs as the newer carbs come with the plastic fitting. This is just more FYI stuff.....   Blake Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 03:06 pm:        172689 Move to... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/3591.html
