Do you have experience finding the parts to rebuild them. It seems the people that do, do not want to talk about it. I personally am a college student who was given a kz900 as a present from my father after returning from the gulf in 03. It hardly ran and I am trying to honor his generosity by rebuilding the thing. I currently have the carbs completely rebuilt with the exception of this dang grommet. I understand that people are trying to make money but Ill sooner pay to have a backup supply of custom grommets made before I pay someone 300 bucks to do a job I have already done (rebuilding my carb) just so they can install the parts they were unwilling to sell.
Sorry, but I am bitter about my current obstacle. I love this bike but am hating this hang up.
there is no mystery to those carbs.....i thought there was at one time, but after going through a few sets...i m like "they get how much?"......those parts are out there...trust me.....old george likes to play his hand close to his chest...trust me when i tell you , he isnt the only game in town and there are many places to get parts .....the more i read and listen, the more i believe there is a small cottage side biz in slide carbs....

Don't get your hopes up but I'll try to get back the ones I gave away and give them to you. IF I can get them back, you can have them. Just waiting on my brother to call me back. I gave them to his buddy with the other carbs.
Thats quite generous of you to offer.
Thanks

are we talking the two rubber grommets , one on each end of the throttle shaft assembly that covers the holes on each end of the outside carbs?
No, I think those two are referred to as "plugs" we are trying to find the 6 grommets that fit both sides of the two inside carbs and the throttle shaft side of the two side carbs.
i m kind of bored this winter.....i have experience re-building vm series carbs.....might be time to scan ebay and
re-fire the polishing wheel........apparently there is money to be made.....
I see you have the fuel tee's circled also. Do you need them as well?
