Anyone have any luck with the kit above? Any other recommendations?

thanks.

No 40 pilots in that kit.
I sell 89-00 jet packs - I don't have 100 gaskets but I do have the correct 40 pilots, and mains and washers for your set up.
40/125 for an all stock bike, or 40/150 for K&N and pipe. That kit has gaskets, O rings and a bunch of other crap I've never seen go bad in my cracking open 4-500 sets of these carbs.
O rings go bad, float gaskets go bad ... who the druck does a air mixture screw go bad ??? Emulsion tube goes bad ??? choke plunger ??? drain screw ??? Seriously if you can remove 90% of these parts without breaking everything in your way I'd be surprised.

And worse yet - the 1 part you need to replace - the pilot jet - cos the manual says its wrong for a US bike - isn't in this kit.

Use this kit, but put 40 pilots and mains and washers for your setup.

Cool.

Yo, Buddha, can I buy of your jet kits for my 1991 GS500E?

I want to replace the stock main and pilot jets.

What do I need? 40 pilots and 125 mains?

I run stock exhaust and an oiled UniFilter in the stock airbox.

Give me a price?
Thanks, man,
