  • carb parts source

    Any recommendations on carb parts sources - online or other?

    Looking for needle valves, float bowl gaskets and possibly individual air filters instead of the airbox.

    THe K&L kits are $20-25 and can be ordered at any bike shop. They come with new needle valves and gaskets and jets. One of the jets is the wrong size (pilot I think) and it won't idle right if you use it. There are a couple of online places mentioned here quite often that sell the stuff cheap....

            Motorcyclecarbs.com is pretty good - they give you pretty much all you need for a rebuild for somewhere around $115 or $120 if I remember correctly.

            They include jet needles, but not emulsion tubes.
