Should I Offer Carb O-ring Kits For Sale?

[Nessism]

I'm about to place a carb O-ring order and was wondering how many people would be interested in buying if I started offering O-ring kits? I've got the required sizes captured for both VM and BS/CV carbs. I haven't priced everything yet, but guessing on $15/kit shipped in the CONTUS.

What say ye?

I'd take 1. (Canada).
Robert Bar did ship me with a "Here are you're O-rings samples" notice on the enveloppe maybe to avoid any custom fee?

I’d buy a CV set just to have on hand.

Count me in, having a trusted source and one stop shopping is priceless.

It seems as business is already going pretty good. Probably a bigger benefit for the ones buying them than the one doing the selling. Hopefully good for everyone.

15 bucks ? Id take two even though I got one of Roberts last sets. Hows he doing ?

Question for those that have used Robert's CV kit: how did the float seat O-ring fit? Any tendency to pinch the O-ring when installing the seat? Reason for asking is because the O-ring size he used is a little larger around than the size I typically use, as referenced in the CV rebuild tutorial. Thing is, Robert's size is more readily available and would allow me to keep the kit price down. Considering how many kits he sold, I'm pretty sure there is no issue with the size he used, but just thought I'd ask.

I would buy a kit just to have a spare on hand. Count me in, maybe 2 sets.

Mine fit fine.....I guess. I have the empty bags and old o rings but Robert didn't list sizes just where they went.

Can't think of anyone better to do it

Ditto ! Did Chuck mention he might do it ? Both have the carb experience to know whats what.

The logistics of buying, packing, and shipping the kits would be the bulk of the work and the price of the kits should reflect that. My kit came from Robert with a pitneybowes label printed on it. $3.06. I don't know if he had a scale and printer or if he went to the post office. I don't know what he charged me but I would have gladly gave him 3-4Xs the 3 bucks. There must be some customer service in there as well answering emails and such. It all adds up !

A link to Eds tutorial is invaluable. Robert included a tip sheet that also had some need to read info.

I would buy 2 sets: one for each bike. Ihave a 81 gs850(stock) and a 81 Gs1100e (also stock). It would be a load off my mind to have all the o-rings ready to go if needed. Send me a PM .
