1977 KZ1000 A1 Throttle Stop Screw

Hello all so this is the first time I have posted on anything since getting my bike. I traded $400 worth of musical instruments for it about 5 years ago then turned around and sold it after getting it running to pay for my wedding. Well as things turn out I just got it back this year for free because the person I sold it to sold it to someone else who stopped making payments and robbed parts off the bike....
Now that the history of the bike is kinda out there, I am having an issue with my idle. Well after looking at many different pictures and reading many different things I have come to find out that the Throttle Stop Screw is missing. I am talking the whole complete assembly, bracket, spring, and the throttle stop screw itself. I am having a hard time finding this part anyone have any ideas? or have one for sale?

Oh and this is the third time I have resurrected this bike, all three times the bike was not running when I worked on it. I am not a motorcycle mechanic and technically this is the first one I have ever worked on. So laymen terms and part numbers would be helpful please. Thank you in Advance!

You may need some 26's.

Hopefully somebody around here will have those parts gathering dust in a box of old parts. If not, you may be able to find them at a motorcycle salvage yard. Kawasaki.com and Partzilla have good parts diagrams with part numbers.

I sure hope someone has those parts laying around. I don't have a motorcycle salvage yard near me and I can only find the spring and the stop screw. I can't find the bracket.

A few pics pf the carbs.

The second pics shows the spot where the Throttle stop screw should be.

You could contact Wired George an see if he has some junk carbs he would be willing to sell parts from.

Anyone know which set of carbs I have? Also was wondering if anyone knows the part numbers for the throttle stop screw, spring, and assembly?

so the part numbers are 16077-013 HOLDER,THROTTLE SCREW, 16021-028 SCREW,THROTTLE STOP, 16022-017 SPRING,THROTTLE STOP

Looks like I can get the spring, and screw off ebay, but I can't find the holder anywhere.

Looks like you need reference number 23. Note that it uses a different screw than the earlier models.

If you click on the part description, you will see this useful information ..

Ooooops, looks like we have been posting simultaneously.

Kawasaki produced quite a few KZ1000s during those years, so there are bound to be some stockpiles of broken carb sets with just the piece you need. The trick will be finding them. I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate a replacement?

not sure how hard it would be to fabricate one, but for me it would be impossible because I am not a metal worker at all
