Lost a float needle valve seat
« on: September 25, 2014, 07:50:01 PM »
Anyone know where I can find one of these for 069A carbs from a 1977 cb550f2? 
Found one on ebay for £12 shipped from the US, but if I can avoid ordering from overseas....

The eBay ad says yes, all the same from 350 to 550.  I'd really appreciate it!  I'll send you a PM.
