Mdschultz Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Hello, I have a mint 1978 Suzuki GS750 that has a carb issue. The cross over tubes or nipples are leaking. The problem is these are no longer availble and I have searched the world and can not find these any where. Part numbers are : #13685-45020 #13685-45010 My question is are these part numbers compatible with any other year or from a different manufacturer? Any help would be appreciated. Matt Quote

KATANAMANGLER Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Take a look at these from the States. Complete unit by the look of it. Quote

Dezza Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 If they are leaking then isn't it most likely to be the O rings at fault? Other Suzuki carbs have similar components and they are made of alloy but the O rings can perish, e.g. 1100EFE carbs. If this is the case then all that may be needed is O ring replacement. Quote
Swiss Toni Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Those 'nipples' are only fitted to '77 to '79 GS750's! They are also NLA. You're better off going with the link Katanamangler posted. They are also in the US. Quote
Dezza Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Maybe I am getting the wrong end of the nipple Quote
