    Youre best off to replace the individual part that is broken. There arent really any parts to wear out or go bad other than the float needle, and its easy enough to check.

    That's correct, for the 470 main jet. I tried every place possible on the internet, and had no luck finding a carb rebuild kit as well. The Yamaha dealers can get the parts that are needed, thats the route I went atleast. The Mikuni site has individual parts as well. Good luck with it.

    Well guys I took the carb apart and found out that i have a 440 main jet. That seems to lean for my kind of conditions. If its colder outside for a 2 stroke,arent you suppose to lean it out more or richin it up?
