    Just pulling apart a set of Mikuni BST29SS carbs and I am wondering how the floats are removed? They are held in place by a funny plastic cage that sits in the carb housing. Does the cage just pull out?

    That plastic cage is not safe with methanol......Somewhere in NZ if it still exists is a GSXR1100 with distorted cages.
    One practise session on meth, pull the carbs to change jets - and whoops, we can't use meth in these.
    Luckily a little distortion didn't hurt.

    I've ordered your rebuild kit for these carbs...these leak so bad they make a Colander look water tight!

    Quick question for you, @Linkin or any other expert on these carbs...

    The seats are okay, but the needles are rock hard, so I want to purchase 4 x needles. The needles and seats come as a set, so any idea where I can get just the needles and for a price that I won't need to sell a kidney to buy?

    Sh*t. I selected the wrong boxes. I'll blame driving all day. Thanks for checking Blair. I actually want A and B. Can you send Paypal invoice for the difference (1,365THB) please.

    Yes, that's the A kit I'm after. the one with the slide housing O-rings included. I might have mucked up the price difference. I was just deducting the C kit (that I don't need) from the price of the A. I'll let you work it out. Sorry for any confusion.
