Carb install

Probably been covered before
but has anyone got any good tips on how to put my carbs back on my kz750e 82'
without having to squeeze all the rubber boots about for hours !!!


thanks

trigger I gave up on the frustration of trying to pry hardened carb boots around to fit over carb ends. I bought aftermarket pods great investment. Trust me. If not you can replace the boots with new as they don't cost too much or you can try this as I was told that if you boil them in water i heard that this softens them enough to make it easy to put them on.

yeah I 've been thinkin about pods instead
The rubber on the boots is still like new.
(It's still a pain in the ass though !!!)

I guess i'll go and try a bit longer.
If i get fed up I'll get some pods

thanks

WEY-HEY !!!

got em on/in

got sore knuckles and aching fingertips
but they're on !!!

Congrats on successful reassembly and continuing with the airbox intake system!

Where 1972 KZ750 rubber on the boots is still like new -- would first call Guinness :lol: , then consider these from Z1E: Baby, that feels so good!

Btw, in the dictionary under pain in the ass and fed up, might find a picture of carbs with pods hanging off torn carb holders with Mathuselah still tuning. :ohmy:

Good Luck!

OK they're on now

I CAN'T GET THE THROTTLE CABLE FITTED TO THEM !!

any tips or pics ???????

thanks

I hate to say it but I always hook up the throttle cable first and then adjust the nut when I get the carbs back on :S

Same.

Trying having someone hold the throttle levers to give whatever little extra slack is to be had.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
