Looking for a carb rebuild kit for the 4 mikuni set that came off my 81 gs850. Kinda coming up empty online outside of cheap Chinese amazon stuff. Does anyone know where to source this stuff?

I think Nessim will sell you the individual parts you need.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -

Agreed, you don't need no stinkin' kit. All you need is the o-ring set from Nessism. Plus a can of berryman's carb dip or a sonic cleaner.Larry

To repeat what's been said already, a "carb kit" is typically not needed. What is needed is new O-rings, and commonly new float bowl gaskets. The other wear part in the system is the float valve. Inspect it closely to make sure the tip isn't indented deeply, and that the spring loaded tip moves smoothly. It's common for the tip to get stuck and not move until you soak it in carb cleaner. If you have worn parts, replacements are available individually, or buy a Keyster carb kit. These kits are best available, but they lack all the various O-rings needed to do a proper full rebuild. So, buy the kits and an O-ring kit. And follow the rebuild tutorial linked in my signature.
