Liquid electrical tape from your local home depot or auto store. coat it, let it dry, repeat until thick enough coating to tightly squeeze into hole on carbs. 1 year or 2K + miles on my 650 without a drip, drop, leak, or anything resembling one.

This tip was given me courtesy of Jeff at Z1enterprises.

My Fuel t leaked as well. I Removed the molded rubber and chucked the T in the lathe. I cut 2 slots on each side to accept O-rings. Now it is totally leak free with a much better fit. It's a 5 minute job if you can find somebody with a lathe. I forget the 0-ring # I used, but they are a common size found at any hardware store.

Thanks

Good luck with your cafe project! Keep posting some pics.
If you are interested in a Cafe seat specifically for a KZ650 than let me know. I have built a few KZ650 Cafe's and I am making a seat mold right now :)
