Any off a 76-80 KZ750 twin will work, I don't think I have any spare petcocks left though.

Well, Z1 seems to have some nice new ones. But I'm not sure which adapter plate I'll need if I order a pingel petcock. Maybe I'll just use some inline fuel filters and thread sealer until I'm positive I can get this beast to run.

The carbs are off. Took me a while, but I got them. Supposedly theres a suzuki shop that deals with kawasaki bikes too in my area, so I'm going to go down there and see if they can help me any. My uncle said that before he sold it to my grandpa he put about $1,200 into the bike, and the reason my grandpa stopped riding it is because his mechanic couldn't tune the carbs right and screwed them up. I see what you mean about the carb kits for the G, they're nonexistant!!
They don't look like they're in too bad of shape, but one of the floats is stuck, the other moves freely. I don't know too much about these carburetors... or any for that matter, so does anyone know of any good disassembly/rebuild guides?
(Yet again, sorry for the blurriness of the pic)
