Title: FS: 89-00 Carb rebuild kits
Post by: Chuck on March 11, 2008, 09:09:45 PM
I have 2 carb rebuild kits.  The label says '89-'01, and that's a damn lie.  Doesn't fit my 2001 at all.  Old Bike Barn sucks and won't answer my calls or emails that they sent me the wrong kit.

Anywho, best I remember, they cost me $45 for the pair, and I'll send them for that to anyone who wants them, and I'll pay for the shipping.

Comes with bowl gaskets, needle and seat, and a bunch of o-rings.

No one has any leaky/flooded pre-2001 carbs they need to fix?

Name your price, I just don't want to lose too much $$ having been ripped off for the wrong part.

It looks like this, except twice as much. :)

K chuck I'll take it. How is $25 for the pair. You know what I am going to do with it right ... Yes as a service to all GStwinners, the O rings will be converted to the generic parts. Heck, I just need 1 ... but OK 2 is fine. I'll split the carbs off the racks and just go to town.
Cool.
Srinath.

Thanks for the offer, but they sell pretty reliably on ebay for $40 (about twice per day), so I'll probably go that route if I can't get close to that.  They're brand new in the package still.  And as usual, I also don't know what you're talking about, but that's par for the course with srinath.  :laugh:

If you can go $35, I'll eat the difference to not have to deal with ebay, though...  :)
