angel Enthusiast Messages 2,542 Location Athens, Greece Nov 13, 2007 #2 Repair kits sold here for this carburettor contain the gasket, aluminum washer for the float chamber plug, and the needle valve. There is no need to buy the complete kit if your needle valve is OK.

jjad Enthusiast Messages 1,625 Location Herefordshire Oct 20, 2011 #6 I've tried emailing them twice (over the last couple of months) but no reply either, so can only assume that they're no longer trading. Any recommendations for any other suppliers? Melun Retro Passion stock them, but the postage to the UK is more than the cost of the overhaul kit! Thanks, Jonathan
