2025-12-26 Another Kz1300 Carb Rack

Apparently, I can't help myself.
Found another set less than 300 USD, on eBay.They appeared to be complete, so I pulled the trigger and purchased.
   

Shipping box arrived in good condition. 
 


And I got $1 million gift card too! 
 

 

The seller wrapped everything properly.
 

It is always a crapshoot when you buy used carburetors on eBay.
 

These must be from 1980 or later, as they don't have drain bowl bolts. 


They must've been sitting outside, based on the grit. 
 

All slides are stuck in the up position.
 

Why they look ugly, I think they can be recovered.
 

 

Wonder why the spring is bent?
 

Pretty soon I think I might be known as the KZ carburetor king!

Which of your 1300's are these destined for?

None of of these are 'reserved' for any of the 3 kz's in the stable, Jim. 

After all of 5 or 6? racks are suited with new diaphragms from Zed-Parts, I'll make 3 'super racks' using best individual carbs.

I'm still sorting jetting on the 79.. 

So the plan is to pre-jet several racks with different setttings. 105 main, clip #2, etc.

Then, when I'm on a desolate local road, working out of the trailer, I can swap racks, make test runs... to find out which works best for that bike.

Additionally, these carbs are like gold.. I know I'll have no problem getting my money back, and then some, when the time comes to sell.
