Issue solved, it's the o-ring layer on top of the yellow layer that I mangled while cleaning and re-installing the injector.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Anyone recall a green, rubber item on Italian Huskys?

I checked the fuel line, nothing green or missing from that.

Your suggestion DID cause me to go out and check the old, Edelbrock fuel filter I had used prviously, but nothing green in that item.

check the injector o rings, check the tank elbow orings (I think at least one of those was a green one), check the QD orings as well. there really isn't anywhere else that something that big got into system but between the pump output filter and the injector so most likely a piece of one of the injector orings that seal the injector into the fuel manifold, or something inside of the injector itself. pump pressure output to hose to output filter to hose to injector manifold to injector.

Yeah, it really is a small section of the system that could be it, it HAS TO BE after the fuel filter .
I am now looking at the YELLOW looking oring on the supply side of the injector in the first pic and trying to remember if the that used to be green, like the green one was maybe layered over the yellow one.
Anyone have an OEM injector from the big block Italian Huskys laying on the bench!

The beveled shape, the circular shape, it's all pointing to there used to be a green layer of rubber on top of the yellow o-ring in the first pic, just need to see an OEM injector to finalize.

I knew I had seen that green colored rubber in the past and I am 99% sure I dislodged the green, supply side o-ring the last time I cleaned the injector with carb cleaner spray and it got mangled when I reinstalled it a few months ago. I dont seem to have a gas leak at the manifold/injector junction, but it would only really happen while the pump is running. If I dont have any leaking, I guess I'll run it the way it is.

I replaced a fuel petcock on my carbed TXC.
OEM petcock kit (acerbics ????) came with a green oring to seal against tank surface.
Don't know how that would relate to your FI bike...... But it's the only green o-ring I have seen on my Italian husky.
