Hi
Looking to replace my not looking great needle and seat in each of the carbs on my stock 1973 GT550.
Are there two different sets of carbs for the 1973? getting conflicting info.
OEM needle and seat seem to have a "2.0" or something on them, if that helps.
Any suggestions and links very welcome.

There are 2 types of separate carbs for the 550, hi top and low top types. Parts are diferent. Have a look at the following link for more info.
Regarding spares, try to buy genuine as they will be better than pattern.
Your local Suzuki dealer may be able to help, otherwise Marcel in Holland is very good, or CMSL in the UK.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

They will be a good bit cheaper if you ordrer them by the Mikuni part numbers.
