Mikuni BS/CV and VM O-ring Kits

[Nessism]

Hi Ed. I notice above you said you don't have a kit for the KZ550. I recently picked up a 1981 KZ550A with the TK 22mm VM carbs on it. The bike has sat for years. I haven't done anything to it yet other than check compression.

If I sent the carbs to you and paid return shipping costs, would you be willing to create an o-ring kit for them?

We can disccuss further via DM if you'd prefer.

Rock ON! I'm your guy! Please send a PM so we can discuss.

I rebuilt a set of those carbs a couple years back, and (sadly) can't remember the specifics, regarding O-rings and such.

What I do remember, is that the choke flaps come loose on those carbs, so some extra measures are required, or the mechanism can break loose, and get ingested by the engine.

There used to be a super cool, and knowledgeable dude on KZ Rider, who was an electrical and 550 expert. Sadly, he passed away. A massive loss to the community. I have no clue who is paying his old web hosting fees, but his old pages are still accessible. I strongly suggest you download all the content you can from these pages, before they go away...

Thanks for the link, Ed. Lots of good information there.

I'll PM you after Christmas to discuss details.
