kehin CV 34s

OK guys my bike has some pretty messed up carbs a local shop has another 84 Zn 700 and claims mine need needles and seats at 30 a carb for parts and a diaphragm and slide they offered me the ones off the other bike for 100 dollars if I let them have mine they claim there's are perfect and don't need anything the only reason I want to trade is mine has one broken float tower is this a decent trade if I do it I want to see there's apart

Just to clarify they want my set of carbs for theres

If you're saying they'll trade you a set of CV34's ready to go for your old set and $100 I'd say that's a great deal. You won't find someone to rebuild yours for $100 even if the tower wasn't broke. Almost sounds too good to be true. How well do you know this shop?

Don't it was my first time there when I got the bike it broke down in front of a guys house who had just redone a Honda silverwing he told me about them

My advice would be to go look at the carbs they are offering. Check the diaphragms if you can as they're expensive. Make sure the slides move freely. If you can look in the bowls make sure the floats aren't sunk(full of gas). Take yours with you to ensure the throttle brackets etc. are the same. If that's all good I would go for it. After that its small things. Worst case you do that and get 4 carb kits from Z1 enterprises and you're still under $200. If you've shopped around, you'll notice individual 34's don't show up that often.

Keep in mind no set of carbs will be bolt on and go. Once you get them, you'll set your float levels on a bench. Mount them, adjust your idle mixture and then sync.

There are more seasoned guys on here, they may chime in as well.

Yes I already know I am going to have them disassemble them for me to check them out before I'm willing to do this

Z1 Enterprises sells the various O-rings you will need for a rebuild. No way I'd dump a bunch of money on some inferior aftermarket carb kits when all you need is the rubber parts.

I hated my CV34s, they were hard to find parts for. I'm much happier with Mikuni BS34s!
