While rejetting I pulled out a float and that little dangling thing on it disappeared. Vanished! I've spent the past hour on my hands and knees. Is that a popular Suzuk item or will I have to wait forever and a day? :x :x :x

The float needle? I have a couple of used ones if you want. Left over from my last carb rebuild. Still in very good shape, nice rubber and no goove at all. $100 each. Just kidding. They are yours in exchange for good will.

If you want them, email me your address and I'll send it out tomorrow USPS regular mail.

I appreciate the offers :cheers: , but with the weekend being here I'm gonna see if I can get one locally. If there's any wait time period, you'll hear from me before lunch.

Well, I found one, damn expensive suckers. I think they want $25 for it. Well, at least I can pick up the pilots too, and I'm tempted to chew them out for wanting to charge me $200 to do something that takes 20 minutes to do. BASTARDS!!! :x :x :guns: :guns:

Dom,
I know waiting sucks, but buying the float needle from a dealer is very expensive. I just ordered 2 carb rebuild kits from www.partsnmore.com and they each come with one. They were only $12 apiece. Shipping was free, and they arrived in 4 days.

Too late! Thanks for the heads up though. I'm damn anxious. $30 is worth not waiting to me right now. I'm borderline neurotic.
