carb parts

I have discovered the PO over tightened and bent the needle jet # 16017-064 and marred the the needle jet holder # 16947-002. I need three of each, PM please

It might be a good idea to provide a tad more info, such as what bike & carbs, perhaps.

you're right I need needle jets for mukuni vm 28 carbs, off a 73 Z1 900 , the other part is the needle jet holder

Z1 enterprises has em

I wish, nobody has em they were discontinued,

Am not seeing these part numbers on kawasaki.com which shows:

21 16009-055 JET NEEDLE 5J9

23 16017-086 NEEDLE JET,0-8

See image below.

Good Fortune!

For all Z1, 1973, 1974 and 1975, kawasaki.com identifies these parts as:
23 16017-086 NEEDLE JET
24 16047-003 HOLDER,NEEDLE JET

Am thinking needle jet #23 press fits into the carb body, and that #24 jet needle holder is aka bleed tube.

However, Z1E's listing for Z1 needle jet limits its application: Fits Kawasaki Z1/A through frame number 32817 - these carbs are the ones with the 17mm drain plug directly under the main jet.

If not already done, would ask Z1E about needle jet for later Z1 carb and possible availability through Z1 from another supplier (maybe Sudco).

Good Fortune!

It is best to call them @ Z1 enterprises and choose option 2.
They are very helpful. roy

sorry got it reversed, lost my glasses this morning, thanx for the link, thats half my problem solved,
I tried Sudco, (who actually still had it on their list but no longer available) I'll check again at Z1 ent, I have the worst trouble with their search function. good people though

ps; I just copied and paste the needle jet part number on Z1 ent site search box and NOTHING. WTF ????

got em from NM Vintage Cycles, thanx to Chris at Z1E, I also manage to find a set of VM 28 carbs for $125 in the process for a backup
