    Ive got a set from a used 750 Maxim motor I bought. Ive never ran them, & Im sure they need to be gone thru & cleaned, but Ive inspected each one & everything is there & nothing is broken. Dont know if this helps, but I thought Id throw this in.

    I have most of a rack from an '82 650. It is currently not assembled, and one of the carb bodies is broken. I banged up a few jets pretty bad, so you would have to replace them. I can help mix and match until you got what you needed possibly.

    Yeah, then it sounds like you may need a new rack. Keep the old one for all the useable parts, though. Eventually you can build another rack, get it in top shape. Then, you have another rack ready to put on and go when you have to tear one down. Or,......build it then sell it and get most or more of your money back.

    BTW, let us know where you're located. Never know, one of us might be right in your back yard.

    I have a set. One is missing a float but the other three are good. Cheap if you want it.
