vacuum nipple

[Brian]

I did my first carb sync today. When I was trying to remove the vacuum lines off each side. The nipples came out of the carbs. I tapped them back in and did the sync. The bike runs great now no more hesitation. Do I need to put some kind of sealant arond the nipples? If so what should I use?Thanks

Couldn't resist.

I assume you mean the tube, not the rubber. Saw that done once. I think it will stay on it's own.

You should be fine if you tapped it back into the manifold. They sometimes come out and all I have ever done is exactly what you did, tap them back in gently.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I knew I should have used a different description, lol. I'll ask the wife about the nipple cream. I believe the fittings ( nipples ) will stay put. Thanks also Squidley
