Help from member with spare carbs

Post by Maelstrom » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:36 am

Greetings All,
I need help. Many of you would already know that I make carb kits in Viton for various bikes and I am now working on the Suzuki GK73A & Bandit, and the GK76A. However, I have a problem. The factory that produces my moulds does not want to do the float bowl o-ring mould without having a float bowl first. Sometimes they will do a mould without having the float bowl and sometimes not. Such is the way of things and I understand because the moulds are expensive and they know how picky I am, so I have to source 2 float bowls, one for the GK76A, and one that comes from either a Bandit or GK73A. In the case of the Honda VFR400s, Rick Oliver in the UK helped me out and you can see how the kits turned out here http://litetek.co/ReplacementPartsHonda.html I have sold over 70 of these Honda kits with no unhappy customers so all is good, and as you can see I use Viton extensively. Anyway here is the deal. Someone send me a float bowl and I will send it back to you in about 5 weeks along with a free complete kit in Viton. Each kit is for 4 carbs. Of course I will pay for your postage costs, although some noble members have paid for the outgoing post themselves, and I can send payment to you via PayPal. If you are interested let me know and I will give you all the details.
cheers

Mr Marsbar has offered to send me a GK76A float bowl. Thank you!
Just need a Bandit/GK73A one now.

My new GK73A/Bandit float bowl o-ring failed to arrive with my Suzuki parts order, so I am postponing this model for a while.

Ok so I have finished the GK76 kits, and I now have the original seal for the GK73/Bandit.
Anyone have a spare float bowl they can lend me then let me know, and as I said before, free kit for you.
cheers
