I tore down my buddys 79 carbs the other day and two of the floats are collapsed looks like the bowls where full of water and it froze. Anyway ive been looking on line for new ones and they are ether $50 a piece or out of stock. Does anyone know of a good website for getting new ones at a decient price? Any help would be apriciated. Thanks.

You could switch them out for plastic ones. You'd need to do all 4 though, and Mikesxs sell 'em for $20 each.1980 XS850SG - Sold

Another option: yamahapartshouse.com has the brass Yamaha Float for $34.30 P/N 2A2-14985-01-00. Depends on if you are going with just 2 to replace the 2 collapsed floats or going with 4 new where plastic would be more cost effective.
I just purchased a brass float and float pin from them for a 78' E. My experience was that service was very good.

People have ordered and tried those brass floats from MikesXS only to find that they are too wide and won't fit.2H7 (79) owned since '89

idle screws broke.
I didnt feel like starting a new thread so i am just going to post on this one. I started cleaning these carbs up and noticed all 4 idle mixture screw tips are broke off in the bottom of the holes and someone used diffierent style screws to cover it up. My question is how do i go about drilling them out? I saw a treead on here somewhere. Where someone had done this but i could not locate it. If someone could advise me on how to do it or could find that tread i would appriciate it. Thanks.80 XS1100G Black Betty (Daily Driver)
