Mike,
I am pretty sure you'll know this, but if you change the butterflies, you may enjoy some wrestling matches getting them out, as the two recessed screws are (I think) peened over to make them impossible to accidentally have them sucked into the motor. Often the screw heads are knackered making it even more fun (in my limited experience: n=2 sets). Also, twisting the shaft while doing this is a risk (and then they won't close properly). Finally, the butterfly shaft seals are critical to air sealing so may be candidates for replacement when you swap the butterflies. Not cheap, either!
I was glad to trace the history of the carbs on my GT750A and was relieved to know they'd been properly overhauled before the bike came to me, so I was lucky and only needed a light clean to make it all good.
Good luck!
Mike

Re: Carbs
Hi I’ve been trying to find a part number for the butterfly shaft air seals so I can get them locally here in Florida, I understand mikuni are supplying them again and local dealer deals with sudco who are the supplier of mikuni parts but we cannot find them listed in the catalogue.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Bob

Re: Carbs
Bob,
Available here in UK at a mere £2.50 each.

Note, these are Mikuni BS40 carbs, and Suzuki never sold these seals as separate parts. I have a spare set for the distant future! just iun case they are d/c.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: Carbs
Bob, you can get them from MikesXS which I believe is down your way. Many Mikuni BS carbs use the same seal for the shafts. I have a pair of XS650 BS carbs and they are different in the venturi and shafts are different lengths but the same seals.
