Taking suggestions for a quality carb rebuild kit

[taterntot101]

I've decided to take a shot at rebuilding my own carbs, but have a couple questions for the gurus. I'm going to order a set of o rings from cycleorings, that part is a given. When it comes to the rebuild kits, is there anyone that comes highly recommended? While reading the vm carb rebuild tutorial on BassCliffs site, it warns against poor quality (weak) springs in the kits on Ebay. What I will probably need will be the jets (I need stock and have no idea what is in there now, just that they are pretty beat up from previous diassemblies). I'll need gaskets, all the springs, needle and seat. Thanks all

Stay clear of rebuild kits. They are often full of inferior components compared to the high quality Japanese made Mikuni parts.

cycleorings.com has an O-ring kit. That is all you should need. The brass parts rarely wear out. Z1 is a good place in case you need some gaskets or float needle.

Thanks for the heads up. I would really like to replace all the jets, they look pretty rough from being removed in the past. I'm probaably most interested in the springs, though, and the gaskets can be made if need be.

Unless the jets are physically mangled, they are far better than anything in a kit. Dip them and see how the clean up. If you truly cannot salvage a jet, order specific Mikuni parts for replacements. The kit jets are trash, and OEM jets are not expensive.

Otherwise an o-ring kit and some gaskets are all you need for that rebuild.
