    Where can I get these dang things? I have a 94 Seca II that's sitting because A)I ordered a petcock and the tube screens I got with it were broken B) Not going to pay another $50+ for 2 stupid screens....they have to make this part somewhere!? Right...?


    2 yellowish-brownish tubes coming out, my larger one is broken...the screen portion is broken completely off

    Where can I get em?

    Easy fix. Just use it like it is. Just make sure you have a inline fuel filter going to your carbs, and when you have to take off your petcock in a couple years because it's clogged up just get a new one then.

    +1. Is there enough of it left to JB Weld it back together? (Check if JB Weld is fuel soluable...)

    when you say "ordered" are you saying new from a dealer or used off flea bay?

    Yep - just run an inline filter like the guys have said. And if it's just the screen part on the longer tube that's broken, then it will draw fuel a few inches up in the tank where there's no (or minimal) gunk anyway.
