[DeTomaso] Fwd: NPC - where to buy obsolete motorcycle parts?

Thanks, Julian - I've been writing the various vendors in the last few
minutes since you have written. 

 

I've concentrated on the US vendors, since it was a model only sold in the
US. The part may or may not be common with Euro-nipples. 

 

Thanks for the help!

Charlie,
 
I sent links to whole carbs, here's one to a nipple (it's even the kind that
IS suitable for work!);

Charlie,
 
It's probably going to take some digging and cold calling around motorcycle
breakers/classic specialists. My experience on elusive stiff like this is
that if the guy you call doesn't have it, he can give a number to a guy that
might and you work the chain until hopefully you get to the right guy. There
are quiet a few classic bike parts dealers in the UK given that you are in
Europe.

I need to buy a nipple. Stop the snickering, Larry...
 
I'm trying to get my 1982 Suzuki GS650GLZ running again, and I need a part
that is apparently obsolete.

buretor-model-z
 
It's part number 74 in the above link, and is called a nipple. The Suzuki
reference is
 
13685-47080
 
 
 
I've searched rather exhaustively on the Internet and can't seem to find
one. I've tried sending inquiries to junkyards, but haven't had any luck.
 
 
 
Any suggestions on where to find this creature?
