hi Joe, just did the carbs on my 700 and when looking for the float valves and bowl gaskets, I noticed many, many of these bikes all use the same basic carb parts #s. Also, Yes those drain screws in the float bowls should have the o-rings on them also....they have a groove made right into the screw just behind the head....that's what were shot in 3of the 4 of mine and was leaking like a sieve......with no o-rings fuel had to be pouring out of yours?
