Has anyone ever found a source for genuine Mikuni needle jets? I have searched all the usual carb parts suppliers and can't find any.
I am cleaning, refurbing, rebuilding a set of 78/79 BS38's from my 78 project and see someone has been in there and wasn't too careful about it. Mangled screw heads, cross threaded screws..........man.
When they replaced the needle jet o-rings that we all know are tough to get back in there even lubed up with a little WD40, they sheared off some of the o-rings and just left the pieces hanging out around the bases of the needle jets. Boy, just pull em out, put on another o-ring and try again.
But, they also gave up and used a hammer to seat them and cracked one.
After having just had a bad experience with non Mikuni floats, I am hesitant to buy non Mikuni needle jets.
So I'm trying to source a set of genuine Mikuni Z-2 needle jets.
These can't be easy to find but hoping someone might have a source.
Thanks.
