EDIT

Well, after enlarging the photo of the existing pump outlet I may have jumped the gun.

It does appear the original packing is resting on a shoulder down inside the pump outlet and there is a bit of metal blocking off a clear passage for my tube right under it.

As they say, "back to the drawing board"

This overlooked development doesn't rule out the idea of using a piece of brass tubing to provide a new outlet though.
It would leave the epoxied joint in contact with the fuel though. :(


  If I'm understanding your idea correctly ?  I think it would still work...IF you were to open up the inner hole, down inside the larger pump outlet hole.  To give clearance for the brass tubing to go beyond that flat area were the O ring sits. Then the O ring would be compressed by the plastic above as the plate is installed, making a seal around the brass tubing.... I think? You may need a smaller o ring Though ?

Not much "back to the DB" about it Arizoni.
ghg's suggestion is one option. The other would be to mill a step into the tip of your tube above the packing to fit.
ghg's would be the simplest, and the simplest is often the best..
Hook it up, flush out any debris, install the tube, seal the faying surfaces with bead of JB weld or a fuel-resistant sealer, and you're good to go.

this seems to be a common issue.  Anyone found a source for valve replacement part?
its ridiculous to pay such a large sum of money for a cheap plastic part.

does Kawaski list this part for purchase?  if so anyone have the part number?  my dealerships around here are pretty much worthless.

There's a part listed on ebay called "Genuine Royal Enfield GT Continental 535 Quck Fix Adapter" pn 0/11A ($29) that kind of looks like it might be the fuel line disconnect.  Anybody know for sure???

GT has quick release connectors like the one you mention.
The pump output spigot may be different than the normal pipe with a clamp.

that looks like a good option.  unfortunately my pump is just like the one pictured in posts 1 thru 4.

I wish i hadn't tossed the first one i broke so i could try your option.
