Title: Float bowl chamber for 06 GS500F
Post by: skythian on May 07, 2010, 07:41:04 AM
So I took my carb off for cleaning and in addition to tons of green brass corrosion (thanks to the previous owner), I have a broken float bowl chamber on the right carb. Problem is, I can't find anyone who sells a replacement, and I don't want to buy a whole new carburetor... anyone know of a place that sells individual carb parts like this?

You're right most places wont sell that seperately.  It doesnt even have its own part number on the schematic.

J B Weld is your friend in this case.  $5 and a 24 hour cure time, and you can reinstall.

I was wondering if it was something I could fix... I've never done any metal repair work like that.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks!
