[Grim]

Reviewed the threads but didn't see any solutions. I broke the tee fitting on the carb pump housing. any work arounds instead of buying the whole pump block

here is a picture of it.

Buy the pump block

I drilled and tapped mine. Can get you pictures later this week/weekend. Tapped to 1/8" pipe, then small threaded pipe adapter to all female T. Then 2 1/8" pipe to 1/4" barb fittings.

The barb fittings were hardest to find, lucky I found them at oreilys weirdly enough. And finding an 1/8" pipe tap is tricky local, I had a tool shop that had one.

I had to do the same thing for the pulse line, as I broke that when pushing in the needle seat. Stupid stupid stupid. .

But that plastic T sucks, its a terrible and fragile design. It can be fixed. Very easily too.

You can get an old set of carbs on ebay for $150, rebuild those and keep your old tore up carbs for parts. Honestly. Or, brand new form Mikuni

Any tricks on getting the old plastic tee out of the housing? Don't want to make things worse.

So the plastic part of the T is bonded to brass.

it will pry or twist off. Also you should note as to not potentially change the dynamics of the carb I only drilled as far as the brass went. Then stopped. This way technically that orifice is the same size.

also it’s very soft aluminum. So, get a nice tool steel tap. Not a carbon. And use one drill bit size smaller than the recommended.
