I need some float bowl gaskets ...

Jim Moore · October 30th, 2012, 11:02 AM

Anyone got a set they can sell? If not, anyone get a recommendation for a rebuild kit for a 98 Ninja 250?

Thanks,

Thanks,

A rebuild kit will run you about $60 but if you use some gasket maker convservatively it'll only cost $5.

Thanks for the info. Shockingly, the local dealer has some gaskets in stock. I'm gonna buy a pair tomorrow.

I used the permatex gasoline resistant stuff on mine because I did not want to wait on gaskets. Worked like a champ. No leaks. I have to replace a needle that was bent so I ordered two of these.

Kit is only a buck or so more than just the needle fromdealer. I did verify with seller that needle was included. I guess I will pop the tops on mine when they get here and replace both needles where they will be the same. Gonna drop a couple of the 3 mm washers in there as well and hope I am running like a scalded dog!

Looks like main jet/needle but no pilot jet/needles?

Seller did confirm needle was included in this set. I will post pictures when received.

Yes, it is a complete kit. The needle is included.

I ordered a couple kits that look like that. There's an idle screw, float needle, but not the long main needle I think you're thinking of.

Hey guys,

Everything is back together with no leaks. When I pulled the floats off it was pretty obvious that the gaskets were shot. Here's a tip. Turn your bowls sideways and look at hte gaskets. If they're so flat the no longer are visible above the top of the groove, you need to replace them.
