WTB: 80 XS11 Special #1 Carburetor

[firebird]

Looking for a #1 (Left side) Carburetor for my 1980 XS1100 special.
Will buy all four carb if I have to.
Tore my carbs down and found a broken float pin tower that
someone tried to repair with jb weld.

Thanks

Hmmm....I have a spare set of carb bodies, but the mix screw and the pilot jet are very stuck. Working on getting them out.

As to the broken float post. There are lots of ways to fix it noted here on the site. One I may be trying soon is to cut it off even at the base, drill and tap a hole for a shoulder bolt of the right diameter and then drill a hole in the bolt for the pin. If I do it, I'll try to shave the sides off the shoulder bolt to look the same as the actual float post.
