    Hey all,

    I bought an ‘81 XJ750RH a few months ago and have pretty much been bringing it out of garage Queen status since.

    after running it today, I’ve noticed a steady drip coming from the bottom of the leftmost and second carbs. I had the carbs rebuilt, and the tee fitting that goes into them seems like the culprit. The o-rings were replaced from the kit I had ordered, and greased slightly to slide into place.

    I have replaced all seals in the petcock, new fuel lines, and new hoseclamps. Even new intake boots. This problem occurs in the bike is cold or hot. Could this really be a simple bad o-ring issue?

    rebuilt kit used : Damineding 4 X Carburetor Carb on Amazon

    You need to buy the proper o-rings those damin repair kits suck. Our supplier www.xj4ever.com sells the correct o rings go to his site and send an email

    Thanks! It turned out to be a broken o-ring on that very fitting
