I decided to to stick with my original Mikuni vm22 carb. The problem is I can't find a rebuild kit any where! I really only need the float bowl gasket at this point. Anyone have one laying around? PM me and I'll buy it! Let me know!

You could just make one. The auto parts store sells sheets of gasket material.

That's what I have now! I think the gas is deteriorating the edges of the inside of the gasket, thus leading to small pieces breaking off and clogging my jets. I have to pull it apart on a daily basis and blow out the jet ports, then I am back in business. Just for this to happen again maybe an hour later. I have been riding like this for maybe two weeks. I just don't want to pull the carb off any more!

Bike Bandit lists the OEM parts too. The bowl gasket is like $8.

You guys are great! If I didn't have access to this site, sometimes I think I would still be looking at a project sitting in my shop!
