Float valve seat size

[StreetFzr]

Hello all, so I've bought a replacement float valve set and the seat/hole in the new ones look larger than the ones that came out. The seller states they are a #1.0 seat size, but the original ones have 1.0 printed on them and look smaller than the new ones... 
Will this matter as the seat should close once the floats are full anyway?

Should be 1.0 on the 600s

I would strongly recommend against cheap replacements and only use quality seats & valves.

But.... why are you changing them?

What's yours symptoms?

Thank you...
My bike was severely flooding and overflowing, seals had perished from standing. I will admit I was cheap and ordered a cheap rebuild kit and the ones they sent out was a 2.0, prompting my OP.

All you needed were new New O-rings which are cheaper and better than any spurious float valves. the Mikuni originals are a very high quality item

I just decided to get a new set anyway after I marked a couple getting them out (2 were seized in)

for some reason the 600 carbs suffer more than the 1000! the valves can and do get stuck and cleaning them isnt always enough to free them up! if you can get the seats out undamaged then yes they can be re-used but thats easier said than done sometimes.

Ive had to search far and wide for #1.0 seats, tourmax who have always been the ones id use as a last resort advertise them for the 600 but they are actually ~#2.8 so almost 3 times as big as they should be!

Glad you've got it sorted though

Just a comment on 3rd party versus OEM parts.

- Typically OEM is always going to better than pattern 3rd party parts.
- The primary reason you would typically choose 3rd party over OEM is availability, as in you cant find the part in your country. Eg for me some parts for my FZ1 aren’t available in the Uk or Europe so I had to source direct from Japan.

And lastly Mikuni carbs have been around for years and have come as standard on many, many, many engines... (generators, outboard, motorcycle, etc). Personally If new wasn't available I would prefer good qaulity used and only if neither were available then 3rd party.

My first buy was due to being too tight and going cheap. As they say, buy cheap, buy twice. But I ended up with decent aftermarket brand tourmax so lesson learned on that.

Tourmax aren't the right size for the 600, what part number did they supply for you to get #1.0?

Apologies, I just checked my order history and they weren't labelled as tourmax, not sure where i got that from must be the kid-induced dementia kicking in lol
