    Hello. I'm new to VFRs just bought one and got it home. I've got the Air box off and I'm down to the carbs. Where do I find a carb rebuild kit? Also any cheap starter motors out there? thanks.

    I did more than it probably needed... float valves (needle & seats) new bowl o-rings and fuel tee o-rings all for $55.....I wanted to be sure of no leaks since I spent extra $$ to make it showroom condition, I've seen a few old bikes burn to the ground over a 0-ring seal.



    Here's some other sources CALL THEM if they don't list it.

    Thanks for your input. Was that per carb price?

    I didn't get kits, I wanted to keep as many oem parts as possible (4)float valves $30 shipped from V4 market, bowl seals (4) for $23 fuel tee o-rings from a major o-ring supplier in town $2

    It turns out that the fuel pump and filter were missing from my bike. I'm thinking that when these parts arrive I may not need to clean the carbs. I have sitting here with me, new gaskets and o rings for the carbs. I'm thinking I should run some seafoam and test the bike before I dig into the fuel system. I've cleaned the tank and replaced fuel lines already. Does this seem like a good plan?

    Good plan, yes: Test before making assumptions.
