Keihins FCR39 Flat-Slide Carbs
scootz - 12/4/09 at 10:49 PM

I have a fuel leak from the piece circled in red (the 'T' component has split). Does anyone know the correct terminology for it and can suggest where I can get a replacement sharpish?

Ta!

If the carbs have been dry for a while, they will often leak here until the fuel swells the seal - may be worth bearing in mind if thats the case...

Thanks James, but it's a visible split... someone has squashed it and burst it.

Anyone?

Not sure about Keihin's but that is a fuel inlet into a carb.

You could go with parts 11 and 12 from this diagram, which might do the job.

On the Mikuni that part looks identical. Probably a few days back order from Suzuki.

Have you tried Andy Bates (http://www.abperformance.co.uk/) he seems to know everything about these sort of things.

good luck

Cheers Matt. Found a diagram for the FCR39 and it states the part is an 'air-vent'.

This has confused me as it is definitely a fuel return t-piece!

Confusion has lifted... the air-vent does indeed also return fuel - phew! Found a Keihin parts stockist...
