I'm looking for carb parts

[fulldraw]

I have a 79 xs1100 special and i am having a hard time finding float parts. the one place i did find them were sold out. are there other carbs out their that use some of the same parts as bs34's?

Plastic

Thought about switching to the plastic ones?

Do you need the brass floats themselves or the needle/seat?

i'm looking for all of it, floats, float pins & needles. the person who had it before me bent two of the pins and tried to straighten them. the floats themselves are uneven and one of the needles is stuck. so i want to replace all of it.

You can get the pins from Bikebandit, $3 a pop, the floats I'd get from PartsNmore, much cheaper there.

Most

Just about any of the XS/XJ carbs will work.

Yes, kits 48-1407 and 48-1972 will work on the 79 Special carbs.
