anyone ever used and/or heard of this carb kit???

I was thinking about gettin 4 of these kits for my carbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Ac ... 240%3A1318

are they any good

 

Well, ... they're on eBay for over 40-Bucks.

They are 35-Dollars on their Website.

 

What's up with that? I guess they are trying to recover eBay fees.

 

I wish I could get carb kits for my 1100's that cheap, They are usually 70 for a set of four.

 

I see "NOS" parts on eBay quite often that are still available from Yamaha for LESS than what they're listed for. I think there's a feeling that you can put about anything on eBay and sell it, like dirty air filters and completely worn out sprockets.

 

I think the eBay listing is for ONE carb's worth of parts.
It would be $160 for all 4 carbs.

I read one post here while I was tearing my carbs apart that said the poster almost NEVER buys replacement parts so I made it my goal to clean and re-use the parts in the carbs. I had zero problems getting all the parts cleaned and put back together including the idle O-rings and washers. I did have to pilfer drain screws from the parts bike.

 

But there would be no need to find carb parts after this kit...

 

I picked up a set that rebuilt all four carbl for around $40. Although this kit includes a few parts that mine didn't seems way too expensive at $160 for four kits.

 

Some things are truly priceless.

 

Did your kit include the slide needed and emulsion tube? Normally these are sold separately and are in the $40 a piece range themselves, if they're even available.
