Hi All,
Before I buy a carb kit, I want to make sure I’m ordering for the right carbs. I believe I have a VM26SS on my 1977 A. See photos plz.
TIA

They look like early 26mm carbs a pic of the inlet sides would be more informative.

If you buy carb kits be sure to get the good ones from Z1 enterprises [ with new mikuni jets, needls etc ]Bad Bryan wrote: Hi All,

Before you buy a piece of crap carb kit... find out what, IF ANY, carb parts you’ll even need.
95% of the time it’s zero except bowl gaskets and only possibly, needle and seats... and even they can be polished out.
Do a little reading here before wasting money on junk from eBay.

Later 26mm. You should have took a pic with the air adjuster needles coming out the bottom at the base of the bowl.
Those carbs were from 77 & 78 KZ1000.
good basic carb for stock engines

Agree with skipping the junk aftermarket "carb kits". Get new O-rings and maybe flow bowl gaskets and go through the carbs properly...

Like I said before if you use the good kits from Z1 enterpries you will be fine as they contain GENUINE parts but they also sell the lesser quality kits which are not good . I have done a few with the good kits and all was well.
