Red Eye Technical Service is the best place to get all gaskets and o rings you will need if you are just doing a clean up. (complete kit)
They also have the o rings for the intakes which you need to replace while you are in there.

Don't know if you're planning on any re-jetting (or just want to put in fresh jets)... But... Jets-R-Us sells jets for a lot cheaper than those "kits" you find online. You do have to know what you're buying though, so make sure you do your homework. http://www.jetsrus.com/ |

Why???? Also might want to replace the floats. It's looking as if they are a major contributor to hydro lock. |

RedEye for the carb rebuild kit which includes the o rings for the fuel rails and hoses for the air cut offs. RedEye for the manifold gaskets too. Don't forget the float valves, which you can purchase on EBay, they are a must do in any carburator clean up or rebuild. If your going to be doing all this you might as well do the desmog too. I purchased all the above items from RedEye just in case, there's nothing worse than starting a project and getting cought with out all the parts needed to completed it. I did mine last month and the difference is night and day. I don't have the site for the float valves which I got from Grumpy. One tip I used Chap stick on my float bowl o rings because I reused them and I have no leaks.

Thanks for all the input, the issue is a leaking float valve on #5 carb and it looks like e-bay from your replys. Thanks again.

I will 2nd or 3rd or 4th or whatever number we are at for redeye. I buy anything they sell when I am looking for parts, and I have always been happy. I have also used jet-r-us, iirc they are also the site that has a jet calculator to help get you in the right ballpark for any mods you may have done.

i've rebuild my carbs using red eye's kit. its great quality, very expensive but you can forget about ur carbs like forever if u take good care of ur bike, please note that his kit does not include the float bowl gasket, red eye sells it separately though.
