Source for float bowl gaskets - CB750 PD carbs?
« on: October 18, 2012, 09:16:50 AM »
The only place I can find 'em is SCI in Canada, and they're $30 (shipped) for four AND they take two weeks to get to my house. I only need one. Anybody got another source? Or a spare gasket? :)

$12 shipping from vintageCB750 - yikes! Total for two (might as well, right?) from newmotorcycleparts.com = $20 shipped. Thanks y'all!

You know he might send you the whole float bowl with gasket for cheaper - used of course. He's got a sh&@load of used parts. Just a thought.

You can still get them new from Honda, or at least Honda sells a rebuild kit with all the gaskets and o-rings. When I rebuilt the PD's on my 77 750k I think it was around $35-40 Canadian a carb for each kit. I'd bet they offer just the bowl gasket if that's all you need, Western hills Honda maybe?
