For a thorough cleanup, what you wind up needing are the O-rings. Man, what an opportunity for a product plug!

Unless you really need the rebuild kits, save your money. If you do wind up needing bowl gaskets, use cycle-recycle instead and keep $$ in your wallet. At $25 a copy + shipping for those little kits, it's really shameful that you'd still be looking for the connecting O-rings, and the quality of the machining isn't exactly stellar.

If you are looking to rejet as a result of adding a pipe or air cleaner mods, try Factory Pro@ 415-492-8803. They have complete kits that get you darn close the first time. Mine came with pilot jets, main jets (3 sets), needles and new carb screws.

I too bought"robertbarrs" o- rings
I too bought"robertbarrs" o- rings
I too bought"robertbarrs" o- rings kit and was very impressed with the packaging and the instructions and tips page. Each set of rings was in a separate zip lock baggie and labeled. As for the improvement after through cleaning it was night and day. Thank you Robert. Very handy one stop shopping. Well worth the price of admission.
A few tips: Removing the idle air screws can be tricky. If they seem stuck don't force them, you can break them off and may have to drill it out and re-tap or even replace that carb. A little heating with a propane torch on the outside of the carb can free them. It expands the metal just enough to free them up to come out. I suppose heating in hot water would work as well and not be explosive. After reinstalling the air screws, put a little clear silicon in the hole so rain water doesn't fill up where you drilled out the factory cap. It is easy to remove for adjustments with a dental pick.
I used a lawn mower gas tank with fuel cutoff for testing while the bikes tank was out being painted. I suggest filling the carbs with fuel (after cleaning and rebuilding) right on the workbench before re-installing them to check for leaks. (no fuel all over the engine if there is a leak) and re-drain them before putting them back on the bike. (Also to prevent spills.)
