K5 float needles
« on: May 24, 2013, 12:40:36 PM »
I'm looking to find some of the rubber tipped float needles and seats for my K5 750. I've been looking with no success... Will the 77' CB750 rubber needles work as a replacement?

Those damn little leaks!

Thanks!

I've got the parts n more ones before ...  non-rubbered w/ seats ..  and they work great....
I don't like the rubber tipped... I've seen 'em fall apart... bad gas? additive? idk. (PO) it caused them to leak  :o
