Help with a gas leak on a Evo CV carb
What is the fix for the plastic 90 degree fitting coming out of the carb? This plastic fitting is cracked and leaking. Is this fitting replaceable or do you have to replace the whole carb? The service manual does not list this as a separate part. I am sure this is not the first one of these fittings to break.

Replace it, all the plastic ones break. Common and easy fix.

Replace with the brass 90 degree one. Freeze the brass fitting in the freezer overnight before installing. Makes it nice and smooth install...

Thanks for the replies. Just picked up the brass replacement from the dealer and threw it in my freezer. Will be doing the install tonight.
