    Need help finding float valves

    Hello everyone! I am having a heck of a time finding the correct parts for my bike. I need 4 float needles and seats for a 79 xs1100 f. I have tried parts n more and theirs do not fit. They are so small that they simply slide into the hole instead of threading in. There's about 1mm difference in diameter, old vs. new. Different eBay sellers have sent me two wrong orders before that. Both would fit 80-81 xs. Can anyone point me to a reliable parts source? I would really like to hear my bike run after a wayyyyyy too long carb rebuild! Thanks

    It's Needle valve ASSEMBLY size 2.0 16030-026 (sku 007-976K)


    or

    Float needle valve assembly 18-4652


    I'm sorry, but I can't tell you which is correct. Contact their customer service. Perhaps the difference is one is Mikuni and the other an aftermarket replacement.

      Wow! Those are really cheap. I've been meaning to replace mine since I have sort of a mixed and matched set but the assemblies are $45 EACH on ebay.

      Guess I should have just asked here.
      78 E - 2to1 exhaust, dynatek coils, special headlight [SOLD!]
      79 F - gas tank refurb, headgasket change, straight pipes, late model carbs, virago lowering shocks, special headlight and gauges, TC fuse block, GSXR-1100 carbs (WIP)

        My thoughts exactly! Best I found was around $15 each!

          I found Jet-R-Us in one of Marty's previous posts.

          I also noticed they seem to be good source for float bowl gaskets and spark plugs.
