    Aftermarket Carb Kits

    While going through my still new to me '82 850G I discovered that the incorrect jets had been installed by the FN PO. He screwed up everything he touched. This made me question any replaceable part in the carb. So, I ordered aftermarket carb kits and replaced the parts.
    Now I have read on here that aftermarket carb kits are a bad idea. What problems can I expect with these parts?
    The bike is running well now. I would like to know what I need to keep an eye out for.

    Thanks

    I've used kits fom K&L many times. Found them to be of excellent quailty and never had any problems. In fact the part number for yours is 18-2591.

      If the bike is running well that's all you need to know.

      K&L carb kits seem better than most but I've seen problems with K&L brake system parts twice now and won't buy them again.

      With regard to "carb kits" in general, I've never seen a kit that includes the fuel tube O-rings, which are critical to replace.

        I didn't plan on buying a carb kit. I got the o-rings from cycle o-rings and planned on cleaning (dipping) the other parts. When I took the carbs apart I discovered that some incorrect parts were installed. I thought the easiest way to make sure that everything is correct is to replace it all. The cheapest way was with a carb kit. It was a Napco kit.
