Hi all does anybody no where i can get my gsxr 600 srad carbs rebuilt.I took my bike to the bike shop and was given a ruff price of about £500 for parts and labour because the part where the needle sits the little round part has worn oval making the bike run rich i was shocked that they said £500 and could not afford it so i took my bike away with the carbs stripped in bits so now i have a box of carb bits and need some new parts and them rebuilding any help would be great many thanks

Have a go yourself if you've got a manual along with the microfiche on https://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm you will be OK as long as you are tidy and methodical, you should have 4 of most things Mr. Green

split them into 4 lots and then do one carb at a time. You can buy new emulsion tubes which are supposedly oval?? (can be hard to see but the slightest out of true will affect running) they do go but the symptoms are usually rough/erratic running higher up the rev range not "running rich"
You can get carb oparts and rebuild kits from https://www.nrp-carbs.com/

It sounds more like the float needle seats are oval than the needle jets.

They appear to sell GSXR600 carb rebuild kits in the US but unfortunately a quick google reveals none in the UK.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

When I tried to fix my gixxer's carbs with one cracked jet holder, shagged o-rings and worn float valves it was cheaper to buy a complete 2nd hand carb bank on eBay (£70) than buy new parts. A jet holder was £115 from suzuki, sod that.
