Street/Strip 78' KZ1000

I also need a set of pods for these 28mm carbs. I found some on ebay but if any of you have a good led on some I wouldn't mind helping a member or a members friend make a sale.

Same goes for a brass Y fitting for the fuel lines 1/4"

Thanks

Can't you switch the bowls? Not a full pic. I wouldn't worry about the cracks. You could solder them but they are the pick up tubes for the choke. Make sure the little hole in the bottom is clear using a guitar string or a strand from a wire brush. Also in the bottom of the choke well is another jet. Clear it too. Your petcock should have two out lets, one for each bank, R/L.

Can't switch the bowels, I have three left bleed bowels and one Right bleed bowel.

ok, if it doesn't bother the performance then I'm not concerned with it. I did clear all orifices..

I do have the two outlets but there is a brass T connecting the two banks. does this defeat the purpose. Should I just run one line per bank with a high flow filter in each line?

Thanks.

Your bowels are bleeding left and right? You do have problems..... :whistle: :evil:
Like Steve said, that is a siphon tube for the enrichener circuit. It stays covered in fuel up to above the small holes near the carb body. Solder it if it is cracked so you get the right amount of fuel through it.
I don't think I have an extra bowl for you, but I do have a set of pods to fit those carbs, I'll swap them for the carb kits you didn't use. Let me take a look for them in my cabinet.
From the picture, you need one for the rear brake side of the bike, right?

I don't have any bowls for those carbs, but I have a good set of pods for them. look up peter1958. I think he had a good bit of parts and sets of these carbs at one time.

And it hurts when I pee :woohoo: ........

Thanks for the info. I will go ahead and solder the cracked tubes.

I'll pm you about the pods. :mrgreen:

Run two lines. More gas flow.

Thanks, I've done some research and it looks like this is the way I'm going to go.

My 33's have two inlets but one galley connecting all four carbs. They're made to suck the juice. :evil:

peter1958 should have bowls for these carbs.

I listed the Z1R tank and side covers with the Z1 tail section and rear fender for sale in the "For sale" forum

So I'm waiting and waiting for progress to continue. After waiting two days for my uncle to search for a bowl through his never ending collection of basket case KZ's and CB's, I finally get a response. "I have that carb set up on one of my bikes in storage........but I'm going to rebuild that one soon." :pinch: He's been rebuilding all of his bikes "soon" for the past 25 + years, if that tells you anything. :S

So today I said screw it and got my bowl back, located a nice bowl on ebay and will get it this week. :woohoo: I figured after buying a torch, propane, solder and flux + time spent soldering. I'd be well over $30 spent. I can buy one for less or just as much.

On a better note, I did find a 5/8 inch offset sprocket on ebay for $48.94. It is used and is $30-$40 cheaper then new, If it measures out to be withing spec. then it will be fine for street riding and burnouts at stop lights :evil:

I'll change that setup this winter with a proper new offset sprocket and support bearing setup, along with an engine mount upgrade so I can hit the strip.

So as the parts roll in, I'll get them installed and pics posted.
Thanks.
