'08 Ulysses fuel line..

[CANXB12X]

Hi all,

I have read about the oil mist in the XB air box so I got that figured. Apon closer inspection I noticed that the black tabs on the top on the fuel line disconect are broken and missing, the bottom one is there but damaged. I gave it a tug and it moved back and forth but I can't get it off. There is nothing to squeeze in. Any ideas ?

Should I renew the fuel line,is it likely to leak ? I am concered about it leaking and possibly causing a fire.

Thanks

YES! any fuel line or connection issue can be huge fire hazard, especially the connection at the injector body. don't risk it, IMO.

Thanks for that lunaticfringe,I'll order a new fuel line tomorrow.

I appreciate your input.

my pleasure. there are several board members with alot more expertise on buells than i but a questionable fuel line that handles the type of line pressures that this line handles has to be in tip-top shape.

Update:

I have ordered a new fuel line from Harley in the US, there are none to be had in Canada !

However my Harley dealer suggested that the fuel line may "No longer available "

Any suggestions ?, I need the trottle body disconnect at the very least, anyone know where I can get the right disconnect to fit the spigot on the throttle body ?

Thanks.
