My carbs are beyond fixing.

Supposedly carbs from a 600 Ninja 600 will bolt on a 750 Zephyr but WHICH NINJA 600 CARBS? Does anyone know for sure?

TIA

If that is true, I bet it would have to be the very early ones, as Kawasaki went to down draft carbs starting in 1990.
Why not pick up another set of Zephyr carbs?

Also, are you 100% sure the old ones are not serviceable?

From the topic Nessism linked >> 1994 ZX600C >> Partzilla x-ref lists the 88 C1 thru 97 C10.

If interested, ...the carbs from the  newer ZR-7, which is same engine, also have same CVK32s, .....and there are plenty in E-bay.

They are physically same...but of course, the needles, jets (except pilot), and emulsion tubes are different...plus they come with throttle position sensor, which would be discarded, as the Zeph ignitor does not read that.

Can you find a decent set?

I only saw a couple. One of them is ~$170T which seems kinda near the going rate for a full set of carburetors these days.
There's a set from a ZX600C for $99T. some corrosion on the outside, but appear clean looking thru the open butterfly throttle plates.
The ZR750 carburetors appear to be pretty clean but who knows what they look like inside.
Whatever you get, I have no idea if you should expect to replace the diaphragms which can be pricy.
