    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone think there will be a problem with me using kz1000 carbs? there's off a 77 and have had some extensive cleaning and rebuilding done to them, they fit, and are about the same size externally in every way to the stock gs1000L carbs, but they fairly different internally, bigger floats.
 
GS Zooks and KZ Kaws have the same intake port spacing so they are pretty much interchangable. Like anything else, when you change carbs you will have to dial in the jetting to your particular setup.
 
They should be able to tune up. I would start a bit rich on the jets and needles to protect the engine and then go down from there. The air jets will be tricky. Your best bet is to find someone here that knows how to set them up.

Airflow is airflow but the cam profile, exhaust, timing, etc all combine to require different mixtures at different speeds.
 
alright, gonna need to order new pods as well, been looking into getting a header and a jet kit, waitin' on funds though unfortunately.
 
Use the 76 KZ900 jetting, the 77s were the first emissions carbs. I have a couple of KZs Ive had for years, I use the 17.5 pilots and 115 mains, your results may vary
