I never liked old CV diaprahgm carburetors!
KZ400 CV carbs? Anyone ever use Mikuni VR round slides? Just to start and run??
What do you think 24mm - 26mm. I have a pile of old snow mobile and single cyl. dirt bike carbs.
Just want to start and run a 12,000 mile 1978 KZ400. No carbs! The carbs were tossed 15 years ago??
Bike has set since, inside with great compression and spark.

I might even have some early Lectrons from an H2 triple drag bike?
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.

KZ440 carbs and boots will bolt right up.
28mm is about the biggest vm series carb you will need on a stock 400.
And change out the 2 stroke needle jet.

Hey Nebr_Rex, are you saying any KZ440 carbs will fit on a 78 KZ400B? the reason i'm asking is i'm having issues with my stock carbs, looks like the PO took a screwdriver to the valve seat in an attempt to pry it out. I can get a set off a 440 at a reasonable price and before I pull the trigger i'm trying to confirm they will fit my KZ400B.
