I noticed a fuel leak under the tank(961). After tank removal found a crack in the red plastic male fuel fitting on bottom of fuel pump. Can this be replaced by oem plastic part or even better a steel fitting. If so what hold this fitting in place? Here’s hoping that a whole fuel pump is not reqiured

Just like Richard Pearce said. I also went to this UK site to buy my extra fuel pump elbow. (please notice says also fits Norton !)

One of them is the overflow and the other will be the vent for the gas tank.

I found the fuel pump elbow at MG cycles( for the moto guzzi v7). Also contacted John Guest but they only sell to OEM like auto manufacturers.
