    Have this 1981 XJ650J. I took the carbs down to clean them, got everything cleaned. Had to order a float from chacal. The problem i am having is the fuel inlet "T" is leaking, and i cannot find a listing for the o-rings for this. Looked in the kits, and separate, and don't see them. These look like square cut orings. Does anyone know if they are, and if round o-rings could be used?
    thanks

    Yeah, I bought a "metric" o-ring box from Harbor Freight.

    It has a bunch of "metric" sizes and I replaced all those little o-rings. No leaks!

    Bring one to a well-stocked hardware Store or a Plumbing Supply Warehouse.

    A Genuine YAMAHA Packaged O-Ring costs you Ten Dollars each.
    An equivalent Metric O-ring at the Hardware Store does NOT come in a Bar-coded Package with a Logo. They cost 25-Cents each.

    I used a #47 O-ring from the local Ace Hardware. 11/32x7/32x1/16 It fit nice and tight - no leaks.
