I have no idea what anything is worth I'm trying to justify spending £12 on a new float valve..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true! Yet another one of my stupid questions! Hypothetically speaking if you were going to order a replacement float valve for a Mikuni VM26 would you get a 2.5? Oh and if anyone uses a "Smart Watch" I've designed a watch face Edited October 17, 2018 by speshal addition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needle valve and seat called for....or suitable material from which to make both. So that’ll be a lathe and various tooling plus drawings and dimensions, £3,500 should cover it???♂️? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, I think I'll just buy a new one, the trouble is I don't know which one to get? I think, from what I've read it looks like a 2.5 but just need someone with a bit more knowledge than I to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
