    I ordered a rebuild kit off ebay for my 86 XC 400 and when I went to do the deed nothing seemed quite right. It was advertised as VM36/38. The only thing that actually seemed to fit right was the main gasket. All of the ring seals were either a little big or a way too small for my carb and the little "springy thing" for the float bowl was of such a low quality that it does not actually snap on. I doubted its ability to function properly and, low and behold, it does not seem to want to work properly.

    Anyone have a tried and true source for VM38 specific parts? I do not mind paying a premium to make sure I get exactly what I need.

    Thank you!
