Any ideas on getting the jets out?
First bike was a 1981 Kawasaki KZ750 LTD good bike to learn on, not to fast, not to slow, really stable.
Picked up a 80' KZ750 Twin non-running, last summer, got it running, have had carb problems galore will hopefully have it running in may.

So what I have done in the past is get a good sharp screwdriver and whack it with a little mallet just enough to embed it into the brass jet.
Then before you try to turn it, just make sure you are leaning on it pretty good. You just have to break that jet loose, then you're home free. I've done a few that way.

Took them to a Machine Shop, guy said, he may be able to get them out, but he isnt all that sure of it, and if he would be able to, it would cost me $75 bucks.
So I think I am going to search for a OEM or non-rebuild state, carbs or just the float bowls. Don't have a ton of money so its hard to do much with it, may have to find some universal carbs, or something and retrofit them. But haven't been able to find a retro fit kit, for this bike, so I may doing some fabrication.
In otherwords, restoring this bike to its original state is gone. I am now just simply going to build this as a kick ass custom daily rider.

So in Omaha got the carbs off, and pulled them apart. only to find that a previous owner, had tried to remove the pilot and main jets, and failed and stripped the heads of both of them. So not sure how I am gonna get the jets out. So far got the float valve changed out, and i dont have a tool to pop the circlip to release the pilot needle.
Any ideas on getting the jets out?
what kind of carbs?
