    Hello everyone, recently tore my carbs down for a rebuild and found that one of the towers in one of the carb bowls had been broken off. These towers have a pin that slides through them to hold the float in place (I'm sure a majority of you are familiar). Unfortunatly, this is no good and I'm in need of a carb body. I can't find anywhere where I could purchase just a body rather than buying a whole additional rack of 4-carbs. If any of you have one you're willing to part with or a have a source where I could source one for cheap feel free to let me know.

    Thanks
    Bike: 81' 550 Maxim

    Carbs are number 1, 2, 3, 4 starting from the left (clutch hand lever) side of the bike and working your way to the right. We probably have a good used body (any of them).

    Sorry for the delay in reply the carb with the broken tower would be #3. Again, I have a rebuild kit and everything just a carb body needed!

    Thanks!

    I would make a suggestion that you gently file/sand the pin shoulder down just a bit to allow for easier pin re-installation.
