I finally found my donor 79 KZ650. Got a great price too. 7000 original miles, one owner, sat in a garage. Minor surface rust but if I kept it stock, I could clean it up real easy to a almost new condition. I paid $500 only. When I looked at it, it wouldn't start though. But after looking it over it seemed like it was well taken care of (turned over well, no oil anywhere, the brakes & clutch still felt "new", etc) & the risk of buying a $500 lemon was minimal. All we did was replace plugs, change oil, & clean the points & voila - started right up. We just need to clean the carbs as two are leaking gas & we can get it on the road! The first step is done.
To my question:
I want to do individual carb filter setup so i will remove the airbox. BUT there is another hose going into the box for this "air injection system". So where will this hose go when I remove the airbox? Can I get a mini pod filter for this hose? Or can I remove the hoses completely & just put mini pod filters on top of the openings of the air suction valve on the valve cover itself? In looking at the manual there is also a smaller vacuum hose & vacuum switch valve. Well do I need all this too if I have pods? If so, how do I re-route this? Or do I really even need this "air injection system"? I hope this makes sense. Thanx all.
