If you did just the basic - replace needle and seat in each carbie, they are *approx* $25 per carb, so thats *approx* $100.

Fuel tap kit (diaphragm, o-rings), this could be anywhere from $40-$80 bucks as a genuine part through Yamaha. There is no cheap way around this.

Good news is these are the only expensive bits. Fuel hose costs SFA, you should get new fuel-hose fittings (ring clamps), these are cheap as well. An in-line fuel filter would also be a good idea, these are only a few bucks......

If you haven't already done so, it would be a good idea to thoroughly clean your tank as well.......
