Where to buy cheap carb float boal/top gaskets was created by RobQ
I do not want to buy NOS gaskets because they are like $15 per gasket. Any places i can buy in bulk or cheaper gaskets. I need 4 new top ones and 4 bowl gaskets?????

if you really want to save money, just buy a sheet of gasket paper and cut them out yourself. Takes time, but it's by far the cheapest way.

Which bike? A set of four for the Mikuni VM26 carbs from Z1 Enterprises was like $13+shipping the last I checked.

I used to do that I think you have to use a specialized cork material. If you have one complete old gasket use it as a pattern.

Any decent auto parts store should have it. So should most independent bike shops.

However, in the other thread, you mention having o-ring bowl gaskets. It is really difficult to make homemade ones work.

check with Z1.

Cool. Some gasket material and an exacto knife, and you're back on the road.
