Any one know where I can get a carb drain line "joint tube" tee? I know they are not available from Honda and none on Ebay. part# 16310-469-000

Jeff:

I believe you are looking for the late model ('80-'82) version of the 3-1 T?

Yes Dave for my '82.When reinstalling my carbs I noticed one of the branch connections is broken. A ICOA member is checking to see if he has one. I also contacted Louis Mintrone,he is checking availability and said he will get back to me. I checked TimsCBX but did not see one for an '82.

Yes Dave for my '82.

Nevermind. I should not have assumed it was for a '79.

A member here is sending me one,thanks.
Louis Mintrone will sell a set, two 3-1 tees with hoses for $75.00

Hi all new member. I have a 79 that I will be removing the carbs soon. The bowl drain tubes on this bike are very hard and some were unhooked. The bike has sit for awhile. I checked things out and put new fuel in and had her fired up but a leek between 3-4 fuel tube will force carbs to come off anyway.
Do you guys always hook these drains up when you do an overhaul of the carbs? I like to see what drains out on another Honda I have that don't have these. With this setup you could have a leaker and not know it. Probably a non issue but I thought I would ask.

Sincere welcome to you - and can I ask you to post an introduction and tell us about yourself and your bike?

If your bike has recently been unearthed after a period of sitting, let me save you some heartburn and suggest that you bite the bullet right up front and get the carbs, tank, and petcock cleaned before you do anything else. That will save a ton of tail-chasing.

Welcome!
