    Looking for a carb body for the far right carburetor on an 81 seca 550. Bought this bike not knowing the previous owner mushroomed one of the brash jets in the body. I can't get it out and have decided a new body would be the best route. Any help would be awesome.

    Thanks!
    Steve

    I have one for you start a conversation with me it will have none of the removable jets in it and no mixture needle. it does have the enrichment plunger.
    chacal sells them if you need them he is our supporting vendor
    I started a conversation with me leave me your zip code
    you can have it for the cost of postage. I will let you know the slow and fast shipping prices.

    don't forget to replace your throttle shaft seals while you have the carbs apart

    Brass jet + left handed drills = removed jet. Slowly drill it out using progressively larger bits. Usually a bit will catch and unscrew the jet. Worst case you drill to the edge of the threads and have to get the remainder out with dental picks. But do that as a side project since it can be time consuming compared to working with an empty carb body.
