Float bowls...

[KatanaJim]

When I removed my carbs, and drained the bowls, I found that one carb had alot more fuel in it than the others. Ironically, this is the same cylinder that was fouling the plug. I know that the butterfly was damaged and was probably pulling more vac (I am still trying to repair this). Is that the reason for more fuel or is it something else loke a float adjustment, that I need...

[Black_peter]

could be the float adjustment.
Or a bad float needle (valve)

[kwebbel]

won't hurt to check and if needed readjust the floatheights right? (a little bit off work, great results speaking off good throttleresponse aso)

If I remove the float bowls Can I re-use the gasket/seal or do I need to replace???

yeah you can reuse it long as its not torn or falling apart just be genlte when taking the bowl off

+ oring on float needle assembly.

I just replaced all mine,, cyl #1 was gas fouling (bad oring let gas around the valve seat assembly) and #2 needed float adjustment.

Where can I get some new o-rings for a 2000 600? RonAyers (and others) doesn't list the o-rings seperate from the whole assembly ($36 for on needle valve assembly).

It's either that thread or the other one. Keith listed all the parts.

I found out that a #5 o-ring is what fits the valve assembly seat. Thanx to ZukiFred.

If you do much of your own work, it may be worth it for you to buy an oring kit. I went to harbor freight and bought a metric and an SAE set for (I think) around 20 dollars. Of course the sets won't have EVERY ring you'll ever need, but they do help a lot.

Yeah , but will they be the right size ? I THOUGHT I read or heard that the carb o-rings had some non-standard sizes in there .....

[ben segrest]

the kits have the right size for the needle valve assembly. They do not have the correct size for the pilot screw and they don't technically have the right size for the orings up top under the top cap, but they have ones that'll work. I'm sure that they contain some of the orings found elsewhere in the bike, but what I meant was if you work on lots of different stuff like cars, trucks, bikes, tractors, other farm equipment and the like. If you won't be doing much more than oil change, chain lube and carb jetting then no, it probably won't be worth it to buy a box full of o-rings.
