TOPIC:

I'm looking for a kit or set of o-rings for the 1300 carbs. Does anyone provide one or have the sizes I'll need? I looked around but my Google-fu may be weak. Thanks for the help! The o-rings in question are the float valve seat, mixture screws, and drains.

I've relied on these folks for jets etc. Not sure if they have the exact pieces you want but it's a place to start.

Ebay usually has carb rebuild kits for $50 to $70 USD on a regular basis. The include most or all the goodies you need for all 3 carbs. The last one I got was very complete. If you can't find one PM me and I'll look up the seller.

Are the kits good quality? i know when I was rebuilding my GS1100, everyone over at the GS forum swore against them. But those folks can be stubborn at times. Thanks for the replies.

The "brass" looking parts don't like to be over-tightened. I broke a couple of components when doing mine. They don't have all "O" rings. The ones for the throttle shafts aren't included but most people wont take those out.

The kit I had came from Japan and was sold by seller cruzinimage_co1484 Ebay #141611261476

It may not have the particular seal you are looking for.

It will be very difficult or impossible to find carb parts other than what is in these kits, or maybe what you can get in a Dynojet kit. These were a proprietary carb built and used for this bike alone. I called Mikuni direct looking for parts because I thought I needed a different size pilot jet. Turns out I didn't.

If these kits don't give you what you need, you could try a hydraulic shop. They often has many different size of o rings and seals. I had to source tiny o-rings for a different project and they had what I needed. They need to be able to withstand ethanol since most gas has that crap in it now.

My kit seemed to be of decent quality but I did snap the head off a pilot jet so the brass isn't the best.
