So, I have number of parts coming from England (Dellorto UK aka Eurocarb) to spruce up the Monza's original carb and complete the spare. Easy enough.

Then, I've got a spare set of Mikuni carbs for my M900 that I want to set up the way they should've been from new and install before the weather finally breaks. To do this I've got bits coming from Thailand (Viton gasket set), California (needle jets and jet kit), and Connecticut (float needles).

Believe it or not, going this intercontinental route saved me about $50 and cost no more time than sourcing it all here. Add to that the fact that I couldn't find a few items here. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be (happily) busy.

Dellorto bits finally arrived. time to get to work.

original carb all set. set up in stock form. the spare I thought would be ready is now held up by the fact that 1) I didn't realize I needed the choke slide's spring and 2) wouldn't you know it, barely snugging the jam nut on the slide stop was all that was needed to nearly pull the threads out of the carb body. can't tighten it enough for road use so, I guess it's now Heli-Coil time.

Heli-Coil installed. Just need to get a spring.

Curious who the Connecticut source is being a resident.

Have a great season!

it was an ebay seller. I can find the info of you like. remember though, those were for the the Monster's Mikunis not anything for the old bikes.

here is the listing for the Mikuni float needles I got from the CT seller.

I know this off topic on singles,,, but
What model and size mikuni are you using on your monster?
Since you brought it up, I was just curious...

they are the stock BDST 38mm.

I recently rebuilt my SS1 27D on my Scrambler. Anyone know what notch on the slide needle is stock or recommended?

It's a '66 250 bored out with a 350 piston.
