Trying to source parts. What is the brand and model number of the nc30's carburettor (Mikuni...)?

what parts you after?

Float valves and their seats mostly, gaskets too if I can find them.
Like these but fitting the nc30 http://www.jetsrus.com/individual_parts/007_143_su.html

Also try rick Oliver as I'm sure he'll be able to get hold of them

i believe they are keihin vd carbs.

have you seen rick olivers catalog stickied on the v4 general section he is pretty good for gaskets and things...

There definatly keith in that's what mine say on them

Ideally I'd buy 4x http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-VFR400R ... 2ebb8c24d2 but that's GBP 120+shipping.
I can get the needle valves for 6 pounds a piece but unsure if I'll need to change the valve seats as well.
Rick-o has the bowl gaskets but seems busy, I couldn't reach him and doesn't seem to have float valves.

Always change them in pairs.

The needles and float valves wear as a unit. new one might not seal properly and is more likely to start leaking.

I thought that the valve stem wearing together was only an issue with metal tipped needles and not with the viton/rubber ones.
