jonarmstrong wrote: Hello all. I havnt been on the forum for a while, work has kept me busy. I bought a set of vm33s off eBay about 3 months ago and can't seem to figure them out. They were ultrasonically cleaned and reassembled by the seller. I put them on and they were real lean. 17.5 pilot and 122.5 main. 3rd clip on needles. I tried upping the main a touch and they were real rich all of the sudden. I kept messing with them and found they were leaking out of the bore. So much so I could smell gas in my oil. I pulled them and checked float height they were set at 23mm. I put gas to them and they leaked out bore again. I set the floats to 25mm. Seemed to help. Needles and seats are sealing when I turn carbs upside down and blow in fuel line. Floats have no fluid in them. I have them set at 20 pilots and 127.5 mains. Haven't touched clips. Bike is way rich. Black smoke and plugs fouling but when I rev it flames come out pipe. That would be lean, right? What's going on? I can put bs34s back on and it runs like a top. They are set at 40 pilots and 130 mains. I'm confused and can't get back in touch w seller
You waited too long. The VM 33's are obsolete. Some parts are available but some aren't. You might file a not as described claim against the seller. I understand eBay has changed it's return policy to 180 days nor 90. I suspect it depends on if the seller is favored or not.
In my case, I have to ether buy some 1.5 slides for a different style 33 carb, drill and tap them to fit my linkage or cut my 2.0's to 1.5's. That's why I asked what you numbers were. In the off chance the 34 slides might work but I have to measure them and ask Mike at jetsrus. They're not cheap.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
