    You can get the o-rings, float gasket and float valves in a carb rebuild kit off eBay, or from oldbikebarn. I have not seen the jets though... I'm interested to see what you come up with. Post it up here when you find stuff.

    Here is a stage one and three Jet Kit on ebay for a reasonable price compared to what the local yamarobber shop wants.

    I've needed two MAIN fuel jets for my 550. I got one from a dealer in Little Rock for $4.50, and I got the other from the dealer in Hot Springs for $0.00. The parts guy in Hot Springs actually sent me back to their service department, where the head tech proferred a big selection of jets in a handy-dandy box. He gave me the one I needed for free.

    Oh, wait... you said pilot fuel jets... That's the long, funky one... If I were you, I'd take your advice and backflush it with a bulb syringe, unless it's just completely destroyed. Worked for me. :)

    That's what I'll do if we can't find one.
