Quick release fuel connector

I had that in stock for a couple years and finally returned them because I never sold a single one.

If you want, I can check on getting one back in stock if you desire.

Thanks Randy, but I will find one locally. Shipping cost from the US would unfortunately make it unrealistic.

About 5 years ago my original 85 carbs started seeping fuel.  I replaced the needle seat O-rings and installed new floats, I even swapped needles and seats from a second set of carbs.  Nothing I tried stopped the seeping.  I finally bit the bullet and installed a set of "pump" carbs that I bought from Bob W.

I didn't bother to change the seats to the larger diameter size.  I also kept the single center fuel inlet but swapped it for one of the larger diameter T fittings from the original carbs and installed a Colder (brand) stainless steel, double cutoff quick disconnect (like your picture).  I have ridden it aggressively down to about a gallon left in the tank and NEVER experienced any fuel starvation issues.

But maybe I'm just lucky?

No....I have done it for over 20 years with stock carbs, RS-38's, RS-40's and FCR-39's. I think that is as comprehensive as you can get.

Well, that didn't go well.....

The damn quick release connector started leaking like crazy 

Maybe it was just too cheap, but I am not going to try another...
