Title: Lost a float needle valve seat
Post by: JustcallmeMrT on September 25, 2014, 07:50:01 PM: Anyone know where I can find one of these for 069A carbs from a 1977 cb550f2? (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/25/f941095ff8c23c32f409c8ed88960191.jpg)
Found one on ebay for Â£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.
