    Float needles/seats

    Ideas for places to get float needles/seats for a 1979 gs550? I was looking on eBay and only saw single float needles paired with a seat for $55 a pair. Kinda crazy it seems. Any other ideas? Please!

    Float needles/seats around halfway down or so, for a 1980 GS550; would these work?

        I got a 6-pack of float valves from Z1 enterprises for around $20.

            dont bother with the 6-pack of aftermarket float needles,within a few thousand km the carbs on my gs began flooding after doing the right thing and putting new ones in.took them out they were totally rooted having a wide groove pushed into them where they contacted the seat.Old ones looked perfect in comparison so back in they went.there are some images of the used ones on here somewhere
