While I hade the carbs in bits I noticed the brass insert that the fuel cut off rubber tipped needle sits in was a loose fit. I tried blowing air through it with the end blocked and sure enough air comes through.
I replaced the O rings on both carbs.
That's the bit
That's where it goes on the carb.
Koho was this the same problem you had?
yes and i did repl but not with petrol resist rubber ring
but i will have extra with me
and other o ring as well see the following
Africa is too far....

I also had issues (or thought i had!) with the carbs and and replaced all the O rings and needle valve assembly.
Just as a tip,
I used a repair kit for a Suzuki GS500, they use the same carbs, their parts are more easily available - and cheaper normally.

I have just replaced all the O rings and float valves on my carbs as I had a serious petrol leak if I left the bike standing with the petrol tap left on. The motor wouldn't start after this, even just a short time when paying for the petrol at a service station. This is now cured. Didn't know about the Suzuki part angle Andy, but I will next time. You live and learn!!!

Hello Alan,Originally Posted by bikeral64
Try the test out for yourself, go onto Ebay and search for 'Mikuni BST33 carbs and the result is nothing - even worldwide!
Then try Aprilia Pegaso 650 carb, again nothing but if you enter Suzuki GS500 carb, you will get a selection of carbs and spares to repair / rebuild your carbs.
