Tkosanic Posted August 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2012 Does anyone know where to get carb rebuild kits. I am having a hard time finding them. I called my local Yamaha dealers and they said it is to old. The only things on Ebay are full sets of used carbs. I an inn Grand Haven, Michigan.

Max Posted August 1, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2012 Tkosonic, here's a link for diaphrams if you need them. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkosanic Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted August 1, 2012 Diaphragms are good. I need the jet block gasket and or o-ring. And cover seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted August 1, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2012 No real kits are available for these bikes. It's pretty much pick and choose what you need. There are some kits available for the VMaxs but not everything fits. At best the jet block gaskets are a good start along with the fuel bowl o-rings. Diaphragms through SCI in that post shown are a great plus and usually needed. SCI# SD1 x 4 is what you will need. (but they are currently out of stock for a couple more weeks) I'm waiting for an e-mail from them myself to let me know they are back in stock. The needles and seats come as a set but more than likely you will only need the needles. The needle are tiough and only need to be replaced if damaged. The seats are a PITA to replace and rarely need to be done. If you find a need to replace a float the early years of the VMax carbs are the same for that. When you break down the carbs check the rubber bungs under the block to make sure they fit tightly. They do shrink with age and that can effect carb performance also.

Mike Swartwood Posted July 23, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2015 The kit I got is a KandL. There are 2 sets of numbers on it. KLY-31 and 18-2879 The kit includes 5 small O-rings, the jet block and choke gasket, the large o-ring type gasket for the jet block end and needle valve and seat.

mralex714 Posted July 24, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 24, 2015 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/86-93-YAMAHA-XVZ1300D-VENTURE-ROYAL-NEW-K-L-CARBURETOR-REBUILD-KIT-18-2879-/400628530806?hash=item5d47523e76 SCI sells this kit. This is the most complete kit I've seen and not much more than gaskets and o rings. When I do my carbs next time I'll go with this and just change jets and all. http://www.siriusconinc.com/pro-detail.php?pid=&product_id=120729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted July 24, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 24, 2015 A lot of the carb parts are still available from partszilla. Not cheap but available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmax88 Posted July 24, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 24, 2015 The K1350YK you mention was the kit I intended to suggest but it got 'lost' somehow. You will notice that the float valve seat does not have a filter/screen ? The float valves/needles sold by Georgefix have the screen. Don't forget the anti seize (moly grease) on the idle adjuster threads. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
