Valves and needles

[mack]

Anyone ordered the genuine mikuni fuel valves and metal needles from Jets R Us.
Is this correct? 78/79 carbs-#V/M 26/26 metal tip and for 80/81 carbs #V/M 24/557 metal tip?
One last thing. Whats the correct number for genuine mikuni pilot air jets from them as well ?

I've never bought them from here but....

Hey Mack,

Okay, first using jetsrus lookup of valve/needle kits specific for Yamaha/xs11 E shows this one, note the SIZE 2.0.
This is of course their generic stuff:

Needle valve ASSEMBLY size 2.0 16030-026 (sku 007-976K) $6.76



Here's the photo of their Viton Tipped set for the later carbs:

Float needle valve assembly 18-4676 $8.99

The VM26/26 looks right for the Genuine set but you'll need to specify the size, and according to their bike/year generic listing it will be a 2.0 size.

The 24/557 looks wrong because it has a METAL TIPPED needle. The later carbs used the viton tipped needles with the push in seats.
SO...the 786-35015 or the 786-35018 . They both have the exact same size specs so not sure what the differences are? They also list a variety of sizes...and their generic listing didn't specify it in their description like they did for the metal tipped ones, so not sure if it is also a 2.0 size....not even sure what that size spec is....like the diameter of the seat hole/fuel supply port that is sealed??

THis is their image of the Genuine Mikuni for the early model:
002-189 Needle valve Genuine Mikuni $23.05 This # is the 2.0 size.



Don't forget the fibre washer:
002-188 Washer for Needle Valve Seat VM26/25 $1.19


Their chart isn't very clear, tried to zoom in on it, think the description for the 785-35015 are the SuperBN 38/44 and watercraft!

Anyways...this is the image and info for the 2.0 size unit.

The generic float valves work just fine Mack.
