Carb Rebuild Kit

Is there a difference in the carb rebuild kits on the market? I just got my old 82 GS850L running again, but it started leaking fuel from the carbs. It looks like it's coming from the bowl gaskets. Rebuild time.

I've been looking at a bunch of kits. Any suggestions where to get a good set and should I pay for the more expensive sets I've seen?

Thanks,
MO
 
Alot of people don't like the aftermarket kits but I like the K&L. I don't use the jets though. I stick with the mikuni or dynojets in my case.
I've had no problem with the float needle and seat from these kits.
 
No difference -- all the rebuild kits are crap.

Just replace the o-rings and maybe the float bowl gaskets, and clean and re-use everything else.

If the needles and seats are worn (unlikely) order new ones from Suzuki.

I agree chef. I've used Dynajets many times with no problems.

The bottom line is, if it ain't broke, don't fix-or replace it.

Thanks,

gaskets?

gaskets?

If the bike runs really well, I'd solve the bowl gasket problem and do nothing else.
 
I've never seen, or heard of, a carb leak caused by a bad bowl gasket.

I suppose that if the bowl gaskets were somehow torn during a prior disassembly and not replaced, they could leak. Odds are, though, that there's a more probable cause, with leaks that might appear to be coming through the gasket.
