Why do people have to lie????? In the south they have a saying "would rather climb a tree to tell, you a lie, then give, you the truth flat footed on the ground." And it's true!!!! Thought I would get back on my Kawasaki KZ 750 LTD today, and get the carbs on it. I bought the carbs off a guy on craigslist, for $50.00. He was parting out a "running bike" because he did not have a title. No problem I needed the carbs. But why tell me they were in perfect working condition? I thought I would check them out before putting them on, and the first thing I noticed was the #2, and #3 float bowels were switched. Then they would not come off. They had been glued on. After I got them off I found one bowel had the brass overflow tube broken off, and plugged. Then found 3 pilot jets messed up. After that I tried to remove the sliders, and 3 were stuck. Still can't get one out. Then went to remove the fuel screws, and they were all screwed in tight with the heads buggered up. Then to top things off. The choke rod on the #3-#4 carb sticks. Guess they are parts carbs.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
