I do believe I have a bowl or 2 "floating" around out in the garage from my custom . I'll check this afternoon. Buy kawasaki doesn't list a part number for the bowl, but I'm guessing they are the same. If I do I'll PM you for your address.
If the weather was nicer I'd hand deliver it,, :) :). I WANT TO RIDE!!!!!!:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: ;)

The two part epoxy from Autozone/Advance auto parts stores works for this.
The epoxy bonds to the carburetor and is gas proof.
I have saved many carbs with it.
Yesterday I repaired a broken float hinge mounting and a cracked float bowl.
It is amazing stuff.

milkman...thanks for the offer but i do still have my old carbs so i could use those for a spare bowl. the advice on heating it to remove it sounds valid to me i think ill try that and have my machinist buddy whip me up a new nipple for it.. again thanks for the offer milkman,...steve

Maybe some Red Loctite that's used for bearing retention will work. A small drop & then push the new part in the bowl should work.
