OK_I'm on the cheap,and I no longer have my KEIHIN CV34 carb rack.What I do have is (if I can get the pics in) a rack of MIKUNI VM22SS carbs.I had these in a box in my garage and what was written on the box was: "Original 1978 KZ650 D1A SR Original Carbs(need cleaning)".I sold this bike a couple of years ago,but when I bought it the carbs were green,so I bought a used set off a running bike from a dude on ebay for cheap and put those on.These I stored.Why I think they are VM22SS,is because I also have(still),the owners manual,and it says that that is what they(kawa) used on the bike.Will these work on my 1980 KZ750E? Jeff at Z-1 directed me to some intakes that were 24mm-he said that I could use these.I noticed that the intakes had vacuum plugs on them(as opposed to on the Keihins-they were on the carb bodies.)I guess I will have to use pod filters,since the airbox side is way different.No prob. Anybody know anything about the throttle cable(need different?)I am using stock handlebar.Also-I have cleaned 3-4 sets of the CV 34s,and they are pretty straight forward to clean and dissasemble,but I never did any of these.Is there anything to watch out for on these, and/or does anybody know of any literature available for dissasembly on these? THANX TO ONE AND ALL!B)

Thanks for that Mark,but will they work?Have you ever done this or known anyone that tried these on a 750? I remember the SR ran good with these(was a little lighter bike though I guess!)
