Anyone have a source for carb bowl gaskets without having to buy the whole kit?

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

you can either get EPDM or Nitrile material o-rings from a bearing supplier pretty easy...

Main Jet: 1.2mm cross-section x 3.5 mm ID x4 (if you cant get these, i managed to get a 2x1.5 to stretch over the jet nicely

Float Seat: 1.5 mm cross-section x 5 mm ID x4

Float Bowl Drain Screw: AS568-009 (7/32″ ID x 11/32″ OD); Metric dimensions: (CS 1.78 x ID 5.28) x4

Fuel line T-piece 2 x 8mm x8

Carb bowls: 2x68mm X4

good luck ;) BTW, these i got for my 550...

I was able to get Viton O-ring material, .07 inch or something like that for like $1 a foot or less at my local bearing company.  Just ran them inside the groove cut where they meet, dab of super glue to hold it, then a dab of Hylomar on the joint.  3 bikes not a single weep, drip or leak.
