Try:
[url=http://www.carbparts.com[/url]
or
[url=http://www.sudco.com/[/url]

I don't think he sells parts, but Wired George can probably offer rebuild service

All good resources MDZ1rider. My 2 cents: If you know the carbs are indeed the issue I would suggest pulling them off and obviously cleaning them thoroughly. Many times you can re-use the brass parts that are already in the carb, and your best scenario is if they are stock to the bike and can be salvaged. Keep the internals (jets, float needles, floats, mixture screw, etc) with each carb they came out of; don't mix and match. Chances are you may only need new O-rings and gaskets. Some of the aftermarket kits are not well made, and can cause issues due to poor fitment, etc. If you do need a full rebuild, stick with genuine Kawasaki or the carb manufacturer kits (Mikuni or Keihin) and the resources noted should have these.
