Broken Carburetor Part, replaceable?

[mcarey]

Hello, First thanks ahead of time for the help...I have a yamaha 2002 sx Viper that has a broken piece on the middle carb. It is the white plastic 90 degree elbow piece coming out of the side of the carb, part of the air vent hose. Can this be replaced? Does it unscrew or do I have to take carb apart?
hopefully this is not redundant thread, I searched, but sorry if it is. Thank you.

Looks like it's just included in the carb body, I don't see any lines going to it.

Maybe epoxy it back together, or just cut the end off and put your vent line around it somehow. It's just a vent so it doesn't have to be precision just hooked up.

alright, thanks. that is what my local mechanic said also. I appreciate it.

Just make sure if you glue it that the passageway is still clear.

Or buy some junk carbs with a good elbow. They are removable... Ive replaced them before on some of my other sleds.

Cobra, do they just pull out or are they threaded?

A small piece of brass tube (hobby shop) inside / at the same hobby shop small piece of plastic tube to fit over the brass and but up against the fitting and epoxy the whole deal up with JB Weld.. Works Great!

I have a carb bank for sale if you want to use a factory elbow. PM me if you are interested...

you might be able to find a similar sized brass 90* fitting at the hardware or hydraulic shop and drill out what you have and epoxy(jb weld) in the the replacement piece. Another thought would be to contact SUDCO out of California as they import all kinds of parts for Mikuni carbs.
