    Hi

    I'm cleaning my carbs on my 1982 Seca 750 and I think that at least one of the needle valves needs to be replaced because it seems to not be sealing when its seated.. Since I already have the carbs torn down I figure I might as well replace the needle valve in all four.

    So what's my best option to acquire the needle valves I need?

    Thanks
    Steve

    Yes.

    Click on the icon in the upper right hand corner of this web page. Then click on the tiny icon of XJ4ever that is next to the list of subjects - you then select "Start a Conversation" / PM (private message).

    Beware of the cheap sets online, they often leak and tolerances are not tight resulting in variations. Went through he'll on my Kaw by buying the "ebay kit".

    The ones Chacal sells are spot on.
