Carb Gaskets

[mjlogan]

Doing a little carb cleaning to try and get rid of a stumble and idle problem.  Pulled the carbs off, took them apart, and soaked them in chem-dip.  Went to the dealer to order up a gasket kit and it is discontinued.

Is there no source at all for these any more?  Any recommendations on sticking the carbs back together?  I tried to save the old gaskets as best I could, but i'd hate to go through all this work and have them not seal up.

i believe the 82 kits still only contain gaskets for 1 carb

MjLogan, if you can't get the from any other source , I have patterns for all the Visions gaskets and can make you a set. If you need them, PM me.

Thanks, I appreciate it.  I'll let you know if it comes down to that.

I blindly ordered this kit last week

thinking a "carburetor rebuild kit" would have at least the gaskets.  All I got was an accelerator pump diaphram (which i needed) and some other various hardware.

I'll check into the link coil posted up

They're pretty good (the sirius kits).  I rebuilt both of my carbs with those.

Well, finally got the carbs rebuilt and the bike is on the road.  Runs better than ever.  Ordered the kits from sirius- came to about $100 for both, but it runs awesome and i'll save that $100 in no time now that i'm not driving my V8 truck around.  Appreciate everyone's advice- thanks!

That savings should take about a week I would guess :)

When you think about it, even if gas was $0.50 a gallon, spending $100 to get the Vision carbs running right is cheap!  It's not about the $$ spent on gas, but rather the fun you have riding the V!
