A friend of mine is a Marine and I have his Katana 600 we are getting it running for him to bring back south leaving thursday. I got the carbs tuned and running great, but the damn float needle on one carb isnt sealing and floods the bowl. [http://www.oldbikebarn.com/Carb-Float-Needles\_5](http://www.oldbikebarn.com/Carb-Float-Needles_5) right there is what I need. Its a common needle for Mukuni carbs. ATV’s, dirt bikes, and street bikes use the same needle. All the local shops I have been calling are giving me a hard time and I cant seem to get anything from them. If anyone has some thing that might help, please let me know. I will pay what ever it takes and come get it from you if that helps too. THANKS! Mike ---

i have a set of stock carbs from a 2000 ZR 600. Cross reference the part numbers on the needle, if it fits i’ll pull one out for you tonight. ---
