Apparently, my difficulty was a bike parked for 5-6 yrs. So, just Using it some loosened it up , so a shot of WD-40 helps.
Carb cleaner would be better. WD 40 may expand plastic.
basically lube it, would help...
does it ? ?
If all else fails, try baon grease!
Hi Tony, presume you have fitted new quick release valve? I had same problem, so in the end made up and fitted new petrol lines including extra 10 inch of petrol line from Tee joint to tank connector. This means I can suspend the tank well above the air box without when servicing and don't have to touch the petrol lines,tank connector or injectors. This dramatic solution was after my third tank connector broke! Can now advise how to make up new lines because after 13 weeks of waiting none arrived from Italy!I plan to splice new connectors into the fuel line of my 1200 Sport. I bought chrome plated brass connectors, made by CPC - check out CPC, they are a global manufacturer making quality connectors. There may be a local supplier in your country. I have not installed mine yet but those I have have a 1/4" ID (6.4mm). Importantly, select connectors that use ethanol-resistant VITROL seals. The CPC connectors have automatic shut-off valves on disconnection.
The CPC parts I have are items LCD170-04V and LCD220-04V. The "V" is important, it denotes Vitrol units.

Thank you Scott. I'm off to the Ford dealer after the weekend for a couple of spares for my two carcs.
Any advice re the barbed washer that secures it in the bottom of the pump assembly?
Just replaced the fuel filter on the G-11. Easy access and removal.

The connector is simple and efficient to use.
Just because one cannot use it correctly, does not make it a bad design.
Thank you Scott. As I am looking for spares for the future, that is a nice option (probably the only option). I haven't broken anything yet, and maybe never will, but it would sure leave me stranded (great excuse for multiple bikes!) When you understand how it works, and you depressurize the system, it is not hard to do it blindfolded under the tank, although two hands helps.I checked. The connectors are still available from numerous places in the UK for about 9 pounds.
I’ve written this before...
You can get a UK mailbox forwarding service from myukmailbox.com and they will forward the part to you for a small fee. I’ve done it many times.
