Default Fuel leak at T fitting on carb

So i bought a 88 cbr 600F from a guy at work for $200. I got it home and have been tearing it apart and rebuilding it. I rebuilt the Carbs and when reinstalling it i connected a fuel line to a funnel and filled with gas (temporary test to see if it will start up. Bypassing the fuel pump. Fuel pump regualtor is out) After pouring some fuel into the line i spotted a large leak from what seems to be coming from the T fitting that the fuel line connects to. I looked at the fitting and it doesnt seem to be damaged. Has anyone else had this problem and what is the easiest fix?

Thanks guys.

Tyler

There's supposed to be a little rubber o-ring on each end of the t-fitting; make sure you didn't lose one or both of them when cleaning. If you did, you can probably grab some at a good hardware store; find any parts catalog online and you should be able to find the exact size in mm.

If it's not that, I'd make sure your fuel line is the right size as well, and isn't too big I.D. for the fitting as well. Good luck!
