Need floats

TannerT
So I pretty much have my bike done but I am having carb trouble, bike is an 81. I need to replace at least one of the floats as it is leaking but would like to replace all of them. I did a full rebuild on my carbs besides that. The bike does run but will leak fuel due to the float. I cannot find floats anywhere!! I found a few for the sohc gen bikes but none for dohc. Are the floats the same? where can I find dohc floats?

hmm... I swear I remember seeing these at sirius, but now I don't see them.  Maybe email them and see if they can get them?

SOHC floats won't work.  Carbs were very different.

These are the floats I have in my carbs. I have an 81, but these are from a 79. They work just fine.

You could search ebay too. Theyre about $54 new...

79 is still a dohc. Sohc's floats will be very different.
