Then you are looking at kits for carbs other than VM24SS carbs. Martin's identification is correct. My question is - what are you trying to get in the kits? In other words, what is it you believe you need to replace that you expect the kits to contain? I'm curious because in 37 years the only thing I ever replaced on my VM24SS carbs were the gaskets on the carb bowls. Ed

Very often, carbs may be restored to perfectly serviceable condition without needing any new parts. And sometimes, only soft parts such as bowl gaskets, and perhaps cap gaskets and/or o'rings might be necessary.
The gaskets are often re-useable when not damaged.

Do you have the stock 750-4 carburetors & airbox? Something worth noting is that the VM24s are smaller, but they will be easier to tune for pod filters than the CV carbs.DWalk02 wrote: Im gonna hold off on full repair kits. Gonna try and clean the heck out of them and go from there. Thanks again for your help.
Also, in Patton's links, note the slightly different bowl gaskets.

Apparently they have no clue as to what they are selling The kit definitely is not for Mikuni VM24SS carbs. In fact, I don't see anything in the kit they show (see image below) that would come close to fitting on a Mikuni VM24 carb. Ed

Here's a link to an earlier thread with some helpful information about the Keihin CV34 carbs, which also addresses whether the particular design has both a primary main jet and a secondary main jet (possibly with or without pilot jet plugs) or has only a single main jet and single pilot jet without plug.

There are also some diagrams (exploded views with part numbers) at the kawasaki.com website.
If needed, here's a link for help with navigating kawasaki.com and finding information.

Thanks for the photos. If the jets in your carbs are stock, I think you're going to need largerDWalk02 wrote: ....
Heres the pic you asked for earlier.
main jets & probably larger pilot jets. For comparison: KZ650 w pod filters & 4-1 exhaust:
~#115 main jets -- #17.5 pilot jets -- jet needles clipped one groove higher.
Z1Enterprises.com has gaskets & o-rings. HarborFreight sells metric nitrile or viton rubber o-ring kits. Several of the sizes can be used w your carbs (e.g., main-jet/bleeder-pipe, pump nozzles, drain screws). The kit is handy to have for other applications on the bike.
Here's a pic or two of a set of 79 VM24 w Accelerator pump.
