Fuel Line Red Barb Source?

[Hugh Straub]

While replacing the leaky fuel tank gasket on my 2006 Breva 750, I noticed some prior owner had put gray epoxy around the base of the red fuel barb to which the fuel line attaches.  I can only guess that  during a ham-fisted attempt to uncouple the fuel line, the barb cracked, hence the epoxy fix.

Harpers told me today one cannot buy a new red barb seperately, but instead must purchase the entire fuel pump assembly.  Harpers suggested just continuing to use the jury rigged barb and install a quick release in the line.  The quick release makes sense simply to avoid the needlessly difficult fuel line disconnect procedure.  But is there a source for a new red barb?

I was thinking WTF this has to to with barbecue until I reread the subject line.

The barb is available separately but not as a Guzzi part. It's available separately as a part for a Pegasso.

AP8104192 is the part # but since they didn't import them to the U.S. You might have to order from somewhere else. Me perhaps? 25 Oxfords AU plus shipping. Nil stock. I'd have to get them in.

PS, I may have one in stock..... I'll have a look.

Trust me, you don't want to take a chance of a massive fuel leak dumping fuel on your rear tire. Don't ask me how I know..
