Bike was running rough at 2.5k revs and I know its my emulsion tubes wearing.

 

What's peeps take on the Keyster kits from NRP?

It has all the jets, needles I need for a rebuild. I won't be changing over the O rings as recently changed to nitrile for ethanol purposes.

any other recommendations except for factory pro as I tried to buy from them and gave up after 2 years (yes really)

I ran into trouble with the float valve needles - they required a radically altered float setting. Ended up bying originals. Mulsifiers are plain brass. Otherwise I believe they're ok 😐

Seem to remember having the same problem when fettlin gokwannows' mk2.  Might be as well saving a fair bit and just buying new toobs and needles Drewps, given that you already have new seals and o rings.

OK, thanks for the info. Don't want to waste money 
Might try Allens as they are mikuni dealers

I changed mine to FZR1000 emulsion tubes (albeit with a dynojet stage 3 kit) and it ran better.

+1. New needles too as I was in there. Previous owner had fitted hot plugs to 'solve' the rich running. You get your money back in improved mpg.
