I hate an engineer at mikuni right now. You know those two towers that hold the pin for the float that your always worried your going to break. Well guess what I just broke it I'm always so carefull and the dumb thing still broke. Anyone know what this is going to cost me and any good places to get a used carb from.

WELL THAT SUCKS!!! not sure how much it is going to cost, but at least it is not a plastic seat like mine. For my 38's they want $60.00 bucks a piece for the float bowl assembly. ie: needle, seat, and float bowl are all sold as one on mine, I hope you do not have the same!!

Well, can't find the Round Slide Mike's, but Denniskirk.com has the flat slides for around 155 a peice.... why not get the flats instead of the rounds if you gotta replace the whole carb????

Just my $ .02

Hopefully I figured out a way to fix the carb that I broke. Thanks steveCZ thats a good idea. I'll have to look in Dennis Kirk otherwise round slides seem to run $120 a peice.

Well zr500, you got lucky. I found a 38mm Mikuni round slid carb body. Send me a PM as to where to send it.
