    Best source for carb parts?

    I've been having a problem with a couple carbs on my '85 Katana overflowing. Finally decided I need to replace the needle valves. Lately I've gotten quite a few parts from Bikebandit and their prices seem good, but they want like $31 each for the valve assemblies? If that's what it takes I guess it's fine, but is there another good source for goodies like this?

      I would bet if you cleaned them & replaced the O ring on the seat assembly they would be fixed

        Really? I was wondering about that as one of the assemblies sorta falls in without much interferance from the o-ring. Guess it makes sense that if the gas can bypass the whole valve via leaky o-ring, it will. Ohwell, I already ordered new valve assemblies and o-rings. The old needles have a noticable groove where they seat. Thanks for the tip
