    I ripped the carbs out and clean them all. They look great!
    But....I need new gaskets.
    Any suggestions?
    I know there are carb kits on ebay for $68, but what about the gasket only?

    partsnmore.com has them for $3 a piece. But they also have a $35 minimum order.

    Thanks for the links guy's.
    I tried partsnmore, but I didn't see the gasket for the XJ700 Maxim 85

    Sorry about that, it would be listed under the parts for the 650. Both used hitachi HSC 33 carbs. They don't even list it for the XJ750 which uses the same carbs as the 650. They're just not XJ that XJ savvy.

    I bought fuel rated gasket material from local auto parts store and cut my own.
    Used an old gasket as a template, sharp razor knife, hole punch, and a bit of time.
