    I just got a quote for $65 for the float bowl O-ring on my gen2. This is a single unit price! Brutal.

    Does anybody have a suggestion for a cheaper aftermarket unit or alt method of sealing the bowls?

    Thanks!

    K&L supply sells those for about $16/ set of 4

    You can order through any independent repair shop that has an account with Parts Unlimited.

    Probably over $25 with their markup.

    Contact Billy Carr. He's supplied me with a bunch of carb parts at super reasonable prices.

    He's supplied me with float bowl O rings at about $1.75 apiece.
