Screwed up pilot screws on Carbs

06 Jun 2014 20:38

I screwed up the pilot screw holes on my Keihin Carbs on my 1980 KZ440A1 LTD. Tried repairing the damage with JB WELD so far its good, But OEM Carbs are no longer available. Is there a set of carbs that are close to being the same as the ones I have on the bike now that I can buy new? Ebay is my only hope at this point and parts for this bike are starting to run thin. Please any info would be thankful. :ohmy:

Kawasaki.com lists the following models as using the same carb.

KZ440-A1 (LTD) (1980)
KZ440-A2 (LTD) (1981)
KZ440-A3 (LTD) (1982)
KZ440-D1 (LTD Belt) (1980)
KZ440-D2 (LTD Belt) (1981)

KZ440-D4 (LTD Belt) (1982)

It's all '80-'83 440s.
