Quick silver by EDVAC, what are these things?

Hello all, Im a F.N.G. on here and am impressed with all the info available. I just picked up a load of kz stuff, (motors, misc electrical, and a couple close to complete bikes. In the pile I found a set of Quicksilver by EDVAC carbs on a rack. they look like a lectron, but i cant find any info on them on the web. the only number on the carbs is a 3262 that is engraved (not factory numbers) on the bodies, any info would be sweet. thanks

Quicksilver carbs were in the Hotbike, Harley bike mags 15-20 years ago for Harleys! Single carbs.

Post a picture, Are there 4 of them or 2 or 1? Flat slide like a Mikuni or a lectron?
Lectrons statred as snowmobile carbs, Then Paul Gast put 3 on a 2 stroke! Rest is history, He bought the Patent, too bad a worker they called "Junior" Paul's pop boy, used to drive his motor home to races, 16-18 years ago dialed them in with the adjutable main fuel rod-jet. Junior never got any credit. When the economy was good years ago, Paul shipped 3-4 sets a day.
Oh well, just a tangent.

here is some pics of these carbs that i dont know what to do with

What would you take for them? If you sell them?
Were they with Kawasaki parts? Do they line up with a Kawasaki KZ900 head?
Looks like they are 36mm.
Too small for your dragbike?
Looks like they would be good for a smaller dragbike motor. Thanks.

i would be open to offers? they move freely and have been wrapped in plastic very clean, they do line up with kaw head. I just dont know anything about em? I have 33mm smoothbores on my dragbike, its deadly consistant and dont wanna mess with it now. I am in the market for some good carbs for a stock z900 motor im lining up for a prostreet project, i would use these but again know nothing about em. what are they worth???????

junk caliper measurement 36mm??

Those are Edelbrock carbs. Here's some info that might prove useful:

Have you gotten your seat yet Martin?

Well I pulled the bowls off these things and to my amazement they are spotless inside, if they were used at all it was minimal! Anyone think they will work on a Z900 stock motor on the street? Any advise is welcome?

They would not be very friendly on the street! They are made for wide open, drag racing, 3/4 midget racers. Not many circuits in there! That's why you never see Lectrons on the street! Would be good alcohol injector carbs with a fuel pump! Like Lake injectors, idle, wide open!

They must have not caught on! Cause you don't see any.
Like the google says, a 650 cc bike runs them. You would have to put them on a flow bench at a cylinder head shop to see what they flow. cfm per volume and size.
It would be risky to sell not knowing what they are for.
Just my opinion.
I'll give you $100 for them. plus $15 to mail in a large flat rate prioity mail box.

well i slapped em on tonight just to see what it was gonna do, got some popping and banging. I gave up!! i knew you never seen the lectrons on the street, i was hoping I wasnt gonna have to buy some carbs. Well Marty, we could prolly work a deal, you wouldnt happen to have a line on a good set of carbs or a 4-1 pipe? thanks jesse

I happen to have a set of Z1A 28mm
And a set of KZ900 26mm they are in boxes somwhere

And a ugly, minor scraped of the bottom Kerker.
