    Why no carb repair kit for '86 GSX-R750?

    Has your regular old Mikuni's, except that are flat-slides.

    The guy said the fuel inlet valves were shot, so I know I need those and might as well go through them all seeing how they're already apart.

    Why can't I find kits for these carbs...????

    Why would you need a kit??? What Guy? Does he know anything about your 22 year old bike? What is the problem with the carbs?

    Clean the jets and passages, get new O rings and you're ready.

    Get new float valves and seats if that's what the problem is

    Does the dealer have them? How about Sudco.com?

      I bought the bike as project. The guy (who is a professional-mechanic) claimed it needed fuel inlet valves.

      Maybe I will clean everything, and just try getting the O-rings for the fuel transfer pipes, as well as the inlet valves and float-bowl gaskets.

      For what it's worth, I have rebulit carbs before, so I'm not completely new at this.

        Since you are experienced then you know that jets don't wear enough to matter. Carb kits are fine if your jets are stripped or if something is butchered. For a normal rebuild, clean the carbs with carb dip and replace the o-rings and maybe the bowl gaskets.

        To measure is to know.
