Topic: use new or existing carb parts?

[sparks1]

 Finally getting around to my carbs. Cleaned and ready for assembly.  I had a local MC shop help in ordering parts...Have K&L "genuine carb replacement kits for each carb.

Question...do I use these replacement jets, or take o-rings off and reuse existing?  I've read some aftermarket jets can be troublesome.

 Whenever possible, genuine Keihin.

When I cleaned and refreshed my carbs I got a full rebuild kit and new jets from an on line supplier.  I dropped $100 in parts and was able to use the o-rings only the rest was junk. Fortunately I saved the old parts and was able to clean and reuse them.  If your parts do not come from Honda resuse all the brass and misc that you can.

My first aftermarket rebuilding kit I used everything, I was lucky.

The second one, for Red, needles did not fit jets -  meaning carbs never fully closed.  Frustrating.
