Broken carb fuel line connector
[:@] \\; Yes, I'm a dumb-***! \\; I broke the plastic 90 degree fuel line connector at the carb. \\; This is a stock HD carb on a '94 Evo. \\; It broke at the point where the plastic meets the brass, so the connector hasn't damaged the carb body. \\; Is this a part I can replace from the local auto parts store? \\; Or am I screwed into waiting for the nearest shop to order it?
 \\;
Next question: \\; Does this connector screw in or press in? \\; If it screws in, is it right or left hand threads? \\;
 \\;
Yes I do have the HD manual, but it doesn't say anything about this dumb-assed mistake.

RE: Broken carb fuel line connector
What a coincidence. \\; I just replaced mine last night. \\; The fitting presses in. \\; It can be removed easily with a pair of vice grips, twisting back and forth (thanks doc). \\; The good news is the plastic/brass fitting is obsolete and has been replaced by an all brass piece. \\; Bad news is, my dealer said it would take 7-10 business days to get. \\; Went on a 1200 mile trip to Vermont from Alabama \\;last week and stopped off at a HD dealer in New York that happened to have on in stock. \\;  \\;
