Greeeeeat, so I gotta take the carbs back off. Seriously, anyone near Phx
with a strong right hand? >:)

Seems like the wrong T fitting. I've rehabed 3 or 4 sets of these and they
all had the same 1/4" fitting, black in color

All I can guess is that the previous had to replace that fitting at one
point and just grabbed whatever was handy. The bike came with its share of
Yamaha parts on it, so he wasn't picky about what he used.

I'm not sure why the two fittings would be different sizes. I have a
couple of the old and age hardened oem lines that are only about 6" long that
are the same size on both ends. I have a diagram in my Honda manual pg 4-12
showing the hose in the upper right also in the Clymer manual pg 178 fig 53.
Previous owners can be troublesome, mine was

So I'm aright in assuming the nipple on the 'T' between the carbs
should be the same as the one on the fuel shut off valve right? I really need
someone in Phx to slap the previous owner for me...

Mine(replaced when I did carbs in spring) is 1/4". Originally
probably metric between 1/4 and 5/16. The breathers are the same. I have 2 sets
in the garage now and the fittings are the same as I have on tha bike now.

While messing around on the bike I decided to clean up the fuel
line. The one it came with had what I assumed was a brass coupler in the middle
of it for some reason. I took it off, and it's not a coupler, it's threaded on
one end. Got to looking at it, and the white plastic 'T' between the #2 and #3
carbs where the fuel line hooks up is bigger than 5/16". The previous owner
must have fancied this brass thingy as a reducer of some sort. I've got plenty
of 5/16" fuel hose, and could run a new one, but it won't hook up to the carbs.
Can anyone tell me if this is correct? Shouldn't it be 5/16" all around or is
this the plastic 'T' on my carbs the wrong one?
