Mikuni Carb float orings

[Mustang]

The orings for the float assemblys sometimes rot and dry out or you damage them and they are not available from Triumph unless you buy the whole float assembly  WTF !
Here is a couple of alternatives to get the orings

identical to those for the Suzuki Katana,

The small orings :
Suzuki P/N 13374-46710,

The Large orings
 Suzuki P/N 13374-35C00

and they are available from Mcmaster Carr

The part numbers are 9263K121 for the small size and 9263K137 for the large at http://www.mcmastercarr.com

Thought This may be helpful a Suzuki want nearly £25 for the rings !!  :shock:

Even Worse

Due to the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. Export regulations, McMaster-Carr has decided to only accept orders from a few, long-established customers of ours overseas.  We cannot accept your order, and regret any inconvenience this causes you.

 Your order has been cancelled.

Is there any reason you can't use the float bowl orings from a katana as well since the carbs are the same? It's easier for me to get suzuki parts than triumph parts.

no what I meant was the gasket between the float bowl and the carb body. Not the orings on the float assembly.

[Mustang]

same carb =same parts , jets may or may not be the same but gaskets and rubber seals will be
