I was seeing the same thing.... If I'm going to do them, it's better to do all or nothing! Wouldn't want a few tiny parts and a few extra bucks in my pocket to be what leaves me on the side of the road...
 
My mistake, for some reason thought was using the Randak kits, those are supposed to have everything you will need, or so i thought. :roll:

Only seals in Randakk's kit, no hard parts.
 
Right, there i go thinking again, when he said kits, thought that was separate from the idle jets, that are only factory as far as i know.
 
K&L looks to have pretty much everything in their Pro Series carburetor repair kits, idle jets as well. Kit for 1100's # is 18-2575 look it up on their site.

I think you're asking the wrong group about pictures, but I'll try.
Your photos are turned sideways because: You have an inverted view, your spectrum is tilted, the left side of the picture is heavier than the bottom, (too many electrons), yellow & purple are denser colors than aluminum. :Egyptian:
:music: Sweet! lmao
 
Carb kits came in!!!
Just finished up #1, and there's left over parts... Not uncommon in the automotive world, but I've never done bike carbs. I don't see anywhere these belong. Have I overlooked something?

Not the main jet tube... Although pretty similar. The ones I've got left over are only about 2/3 the diameter of that one.

So she's all back together, and fires right up... But loses a cylinder at idle and wants to die. Guess I'll work on tuning them tomorrow!
