1981 CB650 Air cutoff valve

Does anyone supply a rebuild kit for this model? It's a single unit between carbs 3 & 4.

Thanks,
Todd

Probably you think of the "vacuum shutoff" for the fuel line that sits on top of cabs 3+4 of some CV carbs, right?

Only early PD carbs seem to have the four diaphragms that are typically related to "air cutoff" elsewhere in this forum.

Ahhh yes, you are correct sir! Thank you Volker. :D

So the question changes a little to: Does anyone know of a rebuild kit for the Vacuum (fuel) Shutoff valve?
It seems as if this little valve was only produced for the 1981 bike and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I even downloaded K&L's catalog and couldn't find anything.
Thank you again Volker_p for clarifying.

Most people bypassed them and put a normal gravity fed fuel tap on the bike as they were always causing problems. They were sometimes affectionately know as SOS valve aka Spawn Of Satan.
