  • 80/81 carb float needles and seats (x4)

    I'm looking for new or slightly used ones.
    I really chewed up the ones on my SG trying to get them out for cleaning and now they don't slide very smoothly.
    I was going to get the kits from PartnMore (#48-1955) for $14 each, but they don't have them in stock.
    MikesXS want's $11 each for them and I'm weary of getting used ones from ebay.
    Do any of you have a good set of used ones?
    I remember reading here about a year ago about someone using the XV needles. Any other ideas?
    I've got the multi oring set from harbor freight and my inlet screens are okay.
    I could possibly reuse the needles, but would prefer not to.

    Have you contacted Georgefix? He has an ebay store. He may or may not sell the parts separate from a kit.

    The XV920 ones are the screw in type from the early carbs, only they use a Viton tip instead of the brass to make a better, longer lasting seal. Not what you need though.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Thanks for the info on the XV ones.
      I'm kinda waiting on the partnmore sets, but if that takes too long, then GeorgeFix is definitely my first stop.

        I buy everything I can from George. He's my first stop when shopping
