Yes. That photo is of Mikuni VM24SS carbs. They appear to be the ones from a 1977 KZ650 in that they don't have the accelerator pump gadget on the bottom of carb #2, the accelerator pump related tubes between carbs, or the petcock vacuum orifice. They look like the ones on my 1977 KZ650-C1. Ed

Do you know if my intake boots for the cv's are the same size?

No they are larger. The setup you posted will work with those carbs. Carbs with the pumps have 2.0 slides typically. I'd get the ones without it.

Ok so I put on vm24 carbs rebuilt them and now the bike fires and runs but has a high idle still, when I adjust out the throttle air for the slides it dies. Any ideas? Bigger pilots needed or maybe pilot screw adjustments?

What effect does the idle adjustment screw have? You should not be trying to adjust the idle with the mixture screws.

It just dies when adjusting that. Goes from high idle to dead

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Did you cap the vacuum nipples on the carbs?

Could be where the carb holders bolt to the head. They may seem soft but there they can be hard with tiny cracks. I used :ohmy: Permatex to seal them until I could get some new ones.
