Tricky carb I.D. on Canadian '79 MKII

Hey everyone!

I recently bought and revived an old MKII. I'm very excited to be working on and riding this old monster. The bike came with 2 sets of carbs, both matching. The issue is that I can't seem to identify them. They are definitely 28mm bore without an accelerator pump. The numbers stamped in the flange are 113 over 2.

I've been poring over this site and have yet to come across anything referring to these carbs. I suspect they are just as set of your run of the mill VM28, but it would be nice to have some confirmation. I can't seem to find anything with this linkage (bottom adjuster) and these numbers.

help is certainly appreciated!

NVM, I found it!! Now I just need the stock jetting. The mains in mine are 123. WOT feels like it is lacking, but I don't know which way it wants to go.

Good Fortune!

Awesome, thanks!

This thing is jetted 15 pilot and 123 mains. I'm thinking it's quite fat on the mains. The PO did ad a 4-2 exhaust that is quite open, as well as K&N pods, but I still think that is one hell of a jump up on the mains. Plug reading would agree.

Anyone else have a set of these carbs running that large on the main jets?

I am going to do some plug reading runs later this week, but in the meantime some input would be nice.

Thanks!

Oh, Ps, the spare set that I'm rebuilding has a BENT needle jet. I dont know how you bend a jet, but this jet is bent. Looks like someone pulled the jet out and then hit it with a hammer. When I tighten the jet up it sticks on the needle, so I need a new one. I can't seem to find them anywhere, anyone know where to get one? Z1E doesn't seem to have them listed.

ebay might possibly be helpful:








If not already done, could Google the part numbers in searching for possible sources.

Good Fortune!

Call Z1E. 123 jets seem small for a set of 28s. My 26s run 20/120 with pods and open exhaust.
