OK,...so I just bought a 1977 KZ1000 and with the bike came a second set of carbs. I am not familiar with them. All of the carbs I have worked on have been round slides. These are mikuni flat slides and the engine side outlets measure 38mm. Is anyone familiar with them? Are they for a KZ1000? Are they worth cleaning and fixing up? Any help would be appreciated

not for sure what it is but they look very similar to the ones in this video. what gets me is there appears to be no choke.

Yes,...they do look alot like the ones in the video. Thanks.

I started taking them apart last night and was still wondering if they for a KZ1000 and also if they are worth all of the trouble,...they are pretty rough.
