Looking to replace carbs on 84 gpz550

Hi all I am new to site I am looking for a good replacement for my carbs I've looked on ebay and can only find the old style with plastic plug cant find zr550 zephyr carbs which is what I would like to put on the bike I can find some zx600 carbs but not sure if they will be to big any help appreciated I am searching site for old forums about it but as I said I'm new and dont know how to use site and not computer savvy it's a 84 gpz550 will have 4 to 1 exhaust and pod filters that's how I bought it ty again

whats your budget? these are the creme de la creme.... www.dimecitycycles.com/keihin-cr26-racin...kawasaki-gpz550.html

The 1984 Zx550A1 (Gpz550) used Tk27 carbs which do not have the plastic plugs over the pilot jets. If you have the stock carbs, you shouldn't need the plastic plugs and using them will not let your bike idle.

Only the 1982 Kz550H1 and 1983 Kz550H2 (Gpz550) models had the Tk26 carbs with pilot plugs and intermediate circuit. These had idle-speed knobs under the center of the rack.

Are you sure which carbs you have? If the idle-speed knob is on the side using a remote cable, then you have the correct Tk27 carbs, or possibly the second generation Tk26 carbs found on the shaft-drive models and the 1983 Kz550A4 standard model, or possibly if you are in Europe, maybe the Zr550A version of the Tk26 carbs.

Here's a site that will show some of the differences.

It looks like they were replaced with a older set and they need replaced because one of the ears that holds the float needle has been broken also 2 of the small jets have been sheared off from someone trying to remove them I am assuming the this is one reason I got it so cheap my budget is what ever it needs to be to get the correct carbs ty

Sry if that message went to you loudvx I'm still learning how to work things I have done some research and it looks as tho someone has replaced these carbs with a older set they do have the plug they need replaced the ear that holds the float needle is broken and two of the small jets are sheared off my budget is what ever it needs to be to get the right carbs with in reason ty

And yes the idle speed knob is in the middle ty again

It may take some searching, but there was a post here that had some details of what it takes to mount Zx600 carbs on a Zx550A. It has been done. I think I recall that the intake boots have to be swapped because they are offset to account for the different carb spacing on the Zx600.

Yes I have to use the zr550 zephyr boots and throttle set up for the zx600 I'm pretty sure I saw that thread here but will they be to big though for the stock motor eventually I will be putting the 615 kit in but that's down the road ty all for the info so far

If someone has a set of zephyr 550 carbs forsale I'd be interested or even the stickers ty

Sry that was supposed to say stockers

Ty you all for the input but I ended up finding a set of zx600 carbs in good shape for cheap so now have to find the zephyr zr550 parts to make the carbs work and fit ty again
