Kawasaki KZ900 KZ1000 Mikuni 26mm Carburetors
08 Feb 2025 15:36 - 09 Feb 2025 15:28
Set of carbs off of a 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD. Recently put new gaskets and o-rings in them and all new stainless steel Allen head screws. All tops are chrome and outer 2 bowls are chrome. Bike ran great with them. 3&4 may need the floats adjusted just a bit as they leaked after I put them back together but, I tore the bike down so I didn't mess with adjusting them. The rest of the rebuild kits are included. Located in West Central Illinois. $300 if picked up, $325 including shipping within the continental US.

I think you've got two sets of #1 and #2 on the rack. The fuel/air screws on #3 & #4 are on the wrong side.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

09 Feb 2025 02:59 - 09 Feb 2025 03:01Those are the fuel screw type VM26's which are made up of left hand castings and the mixture adjustment is underneath.I think you've got two sets of #1 and #2 on the rack. The fuel/air screws on #3 & #4 are on the wrong side.
It doesn't matter about the air screws as their positions are unmachined blanks.

Ahh yes! I should have noticed the fuel screws and the bowl drains. Mikuni must have had a lot of leftover left side carbs!
