I was directed to these on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/372048827274?s ... 2749.l2649
When I searched the part# I found these dimensions, which seem to match my original one.
Order is in, so hopefully they work well.

I bought my Viton tipped float needles for my H2 out of Canada many years ago. No; sorry, I don’t remember from which company? They have worked flawlessly. Maybe mentioning Canada will prompt and jog someone’s memory??


Diablo is out of Canada. I buy fair amount of H2 parts from them.

I've bought from Diablo, but they list the part as out of stock.

I have found Vitons at jetsrus.com

For those interested, the Triples resource site shows the original float valve as VM26/26-2.5
Mikuni's list of float valves shows that 786-15005 2.5 Viton has the same dimensions.

Thanks Yeddy911. There is more information that comes up with a search here on the board for "viton needle".

A word of warning, do not order from the seller linked in my previous post. I placed the order on July 5th, and as of now the tracking shows no activity beyond the tracking number and USPS awaiting arrival.

Yeah, 91.2% positive feedback is pretty low. :-(

Over 700 negatives in just the last month alone. That doesn't bode well. :thumbdown:

I ordered again from another seller. This seller had a few bad reviews, but the majority of reviews were good. This time I got the parts.
I was a bit uneasy as the USPS tracking did not show much of anything aside from the initial shipping label being made, but a week later they showed up.
Only after I received the parts did USPS tracking show anything.
It was in the upper 90's yesterday, and I had just finished helping out a friend at his house in the heat so I was pretty worn when I got home. I was a bit excited though so I installed them in the carbs and set the float level in my extremely hot garage anyway. A bit difficult with all the sweat dripping in my eyes.
I was a bit too overheated to install the carbs back on the bike though, and temps should be around 100 today so the next step will have to wait. Being in my 60's has slowed me down a bit.
