Question 1983 GS650GL float bowl

I have a hole in one of the float bowls of my GS650. It's got a Mikuni Carburator. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new float bowl? I have been to several sites that sell every last screw and seal, but no one seems to sell the bowls. If not, what other bikes used the same carburator? It might be time for a junk yard run.

Thanks, Mike.

Junk yard is possibly the only place as most sell the whole carb and not the bowel seperatly. You may also find the wrecker wants to sell you a set of carbs rather than break a bank of two or more.

I have used two part epoxy on a chainsaw fuel tank with very good long lasting results...stuff I used was aryldite...sp?

Good luck..... you may just find the same carb fitted to a single
