    Off topic..maybe a Kawasaki question?

    Picked up another barn find last week and am trying to determine what carbs are on it..I figured out is was OK to ask since I have more GS'S than KZ'S ?

    29mm inside diameter engine side
    39mm inside diameter airbox side

    These were on a 1979 kz1000 MKII that I have little history about.

    Can anyone help or maybe I should say would anyone help even though it's a KZ?

        VM type obviously, and that lever on the bottom of one of the floatbowls looks like an accelerator pump. Not sure what else, maybe try kzrider.com?

          vm28's with accelerator pumps. Similar to gs's pre 1980 carbs.

                Just looked down your list of rides and I see that your 'new' KZ has a BIG brother.

                Hope it's doing well, as parts are hard to find for it.

                  If I remember correctly, the very early KZ1000's, (pre "78"), came with VM28's with the acc pumps. Around here, we always thought these were a good cheap upgrade for the GS100's & GS750's that always had the 26's.The later model KZ1000's had VM26's, I think without the acc. pump.

                      Haven't seen a Mark Kaw in that nice a shape in a long, long time. Newbee, may I ask why you want to know the model of carb? Curious?

                      While I've worked on many sets of carbs like that I can't swear what the model is. If your going to clean them out be careful about blowing through things, those accelerator pumps have check valves here and there, the blow gun can send them into next Tuesday.

                        Thanks to All

                        I think the consensus is VM 28MM with Accelerator pump. I wanted to be sure so I can get parts ordered. These also appear to be the correct application for this model.

                        I am getting to many projects but the winters are long here so I will have plenty of time.

                        I am ignoring the 1100L for now while I round up some more pieces. I am itching to get it going though............

                        Thank you for not "flogging" me for asking a question about a KAWA
