As an added bonus, I got fuel splashed in my eye. >Anyway, I don't have enough nipple left coming out of the carb to attach >thefuel line. Can that nipple be replaced (I couldn't identify it on the >parts chart)? Is there a "McGyver" fix that will be good enough?

There's an emergency spare that comes standard on the klr. The attached jpg (with part #) shows that the same part is also used for the carb vent hose. If you find another fix, let the rest of us in on it. I bought a brass replacement that was billed as flowing more fuel, but it wouldn't fit without some serious grinding on the carb. Redondo Ron
