Okay folks, an update for you. Today I was able to successfully take the measurements off of what was left of my broken plastic plugs, the critical features of the carb body itself, and the geometry from the photos of the plastic part, and then turn down some replacement plugs out of aluminum on a jeweler's lathe. The result - a fantastic replacement that seems like a perfect fit, and is much more durable than the OEM parts. Attached is a photo of the pair.

The plugs are much easier to get in there now, and I think they're going to hold up great. They take advantage of the tang on the float bowl, so I know they're not going to fall out. If anybody is interested in a pair / set of these, let me know.

DoctorRoboto scores!
I ordered two of the plugs from DrRoboto and put them in today. They appear to perfectly match the dimensions of the plastic ones included the o-rings and went in easily, yet seated firmly. Although I haven't yet ridden any sort of distance with them, for the short ride I took around the block the bike was running well!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationOriginal design as per ebay listing. :huh: See:


A similar adaptation (of 920661087) for the BS34 may be in order...easier to extract, and reuse vs. replace. :kiss: See:

$10 each.  They look nice but pricy.  I'll make brass ones for that price.

Nessim, a couple of years ago you offered to fabricate some of the plugs/caps. Still in the business? what would you charge to make a couple of these from brass today?

If you just need two, I may be able to find you a couple of decent used plugs.

Yes I only need two. Are you talking about the OEM polyester plugs? ... or brass? Mine OEM plugs are so brittle I was thinking brass might be better. How did those work out?

I know those post is old, but i came across it after I freaked after losing one of my plugs. Nessism, are you still able to acquire/make/obtain these plugs? I am desperate to locate some. Please let me know. Thanks.
