My bike sat most of the summer, now 3 of the carbs are leaking fuel. looks like it's time to rebuild the carbs. who sells the most complete kit?
I want to get all the gaskets and o rings in one order.
any suggestions once I pull them would also be appreciated.
thanks,

Redeye sells a lot of the parts you'll need. However, you'll have to look elsewhere to get float needles. One source is here:

.
If you need slo/idle jets a good source is here:

.
My best advice is to not skip replacing the float needles. Period.

Try letting it sit with gas in bowls and see if the rubber doesn't swell back up and stop leaking first.

There is nothing to rebuild in the Valkyrie carburetors. Have you ever drained a little bit of fuel from each bowl. That's about the only maintenance needed. if you're using ethanol enriched gasoline, a regular dose of an additive is highly suggested. Neglect is the biggest cause of carburetor problems.

Don't forget the bowl gaskets. Redeye sells them separate. I don't know why this is, they should be included with the carb gasket kit.
