carb rebuild kits for a 500F

[Xyloft]

i keep finding rebuild kits for the 500 and 500E, but never the 500F.  are they the same?

where's the best/cheapest/most reliable place to pick them up?  I went to a stealership and they didnt really sell any "kits" and the parts were a little pricey to put together individually.  I only ordered a valve assy and fuel gasket for each carb.

89-00 wont work in a 01+ carb, though 01-02 will work in 04+ ... I think.
Anyway float gasket leaking is about the only reason you'd need a rebuild kit, the rest are all cheaper if you just buy O rings.
Cool.

thanks for the response. 

so I probably didn't need to buy the valve assemblies?  i'm new to carbs, but looking at the diagram and the carb_work page here, it doesnt seem to bad.  I think i'm going to start tearing stuff apart when i get home today.  we had 60F weather on saturday, with rain, and i got all excited to ride again.

too bad its 14F now.
