ACtually, its PART of the reason. Ive been asking around and trying to find a set that match yours...the trick is I DONT KNOW what yours are..26mm inlet, but I have never heard of a 26mm pumper carb so i dunno if they're a different model, or if they'll work on a 750cc or 850cc bike...If i find out more, I will take em for sure...but so far, your carbs are a mystery to everyone ive asked.. might be worth a fortune tho, so dont go sellin em off just yet!
 
Hey, if you really want it so so bad, go to www.esnipe.com and join for $20 which includes bid points! That's what I do, but keep it a secret! ooooooops!
 
$200+ ? You sure? Seems a bit high doesn't it?
 
Alright.....I've been here for awhile now. I know these are prized carbs.

Why ? Do they move more gas or something ? More efficient ? Racing carbs ?

What makes these so special ?:)

Hey, anyone mount these to a gs of any sort? Seem to be pumpers. Oh, here's some on sleezbay

I have a set of those on my bike. There is no fuel mixture screw (only air screws) like the GS carbs have. It's more difficult to get a accurate idle mixture but other than that I like them. Dan
 
Youre money would be better spent on a set of late 74-75 Z1 28 mm carbs or 29mm smoothbores. I have both on my bikes as well as first year 28mms on my original Z1. The late 28s with an accellerator pump are emissions carbs and harder to get right. Personally the 29 smoothbores run the best. No matter how big the stockers are they have internal fuel passages that are too small and run out of gas at high RPMs. Im not bidding on these so I have no horse in this race, but if you look below youll see I have a few Kawasakis. Just trying to help & my opinion only but Ive been playing with these since the first Z1 came out.
 
Yeah but the pumpers are STILL better than the VM26s the GS750 came with stock... And I simply wont dump 500 bucks or more on a set of smoothbores...
 
Id use a set of 34mm Mikuni Cvs first myself, they can be bought reasonably. Your choice just my 2 pennys worth. I dont think there will be any noticable difference until above 6000 with the 28s. My 82 GPZ 750 has 34 Cvs and it runs like a top. Id run the stock 26s before the 28s for the money

Ok, well, CVs dont FIT on the 77-79 head. That would require a crap ton of machine work to make boots that would fit. the 26s would probably be fine, except the accelerator pump is nice for wackin on the throttle..
 
How big is the budget CafeKid? :-k

4 hours, 7 minutes to go, they are at $540.
