1987 X2 carb fuel connections cracked

[Zero Client]

Tonight was starting up my new/used ski with some friends. Noticed a slight fuel leak near the carbs. Upon inspection, the plastic hose barb had a crack and when I touched it, it fell off a little brass barb leading in/out of the carb. Theres two fuel lines with the same type of fitting and I can see the second fitting is starting to crack as well.

As a temporary means I rigged the fuel line straight up to the brass fitting - but its not a proper hose barb to say the least. At least the fuel stopped leaking!

Do these little brass pieces unscrew from the carb or are they pressed in?

You can get a used carb. for cheap.$30 to $50. bigger one too I think that's lust a 28mm, pwc today has a great classified section and a big X2 following.

New carb, rebuild it, install, and rip it up!

Like for a mikuni 44mm ungrade!
I have a 28mm carb you can have if you want it

If that is a 28, just replace the carb with at least a 38.
