Hate paying $12-15 bucks to ship something that weighs less than the box it comes in.

Dennis Kirk is also a good source for Mikuni Main and Pilot Jets. I also was able to source my float needle/seat from them on my T500. Prices are reasonable, and for under a certain cost ($25? $50?) they ship USPS for very cheap.

Re: Ebay Carb Rebuild Kits?
Shipping among other things, has to be up there with one of the largest over priced scams known. I went to ship a very tiny box a few weeks ago. Of course, I wanted to ship it as cheap as possible. The clerk at the post office put my package on the scale and weighed it.. Said I'm good to ship it standard shipping at my box size and current weight. Removed the package from the scale and added 2 shipping labels. Put the box back on the scale to reconfirm and said the labels put the box over weight for standard shipping. She removed both labels and weighed the package once again to confirm that was the issue causing the package to be over weight for standard shipping. Last attempt, removed a couple pieces of tape and put the labels back on the package. Said, I was good to go. Lol !ConnerVT wrote:Dennis Kirk is also a good source for Mikuni Main and Pilot Jets.

Re: Ebay Carb Rebuild Kits?
I've been digging through my carb bags and boxes.
I think I have found that I am missing at least the following:
1. All 3 hinge pins for the floats.
2. All 3 hangers for the needles. (EDIT: I just checked the manual, do these needles not attach to the floats?)
3. Pilot jets (the one was messed up in the carb, the other 2 I had were completely different style and must not belong to this bike.
I have the stock 95/97.5/95 mains.

Re: Ebay Carb Rebuild Kits?
That's what I was expecting to find, but now that I look more closely at the needles, there are no holes so there can't be hangers.pearljam724 wrote:If the needle valves have hangers. They slip over the float tongues.
I guess they just go in the seat and when the float drops they slide out? No hangers to pull them out?
