Re: Getting a 1983 KZ750 L3 Back on the Road

Carb boots came today.  I temporarily reassembled the carbs to the rails and each other, fitted the boots into the airbox, and popped them onto the carbs, and they seem to fit well, albeit just a touch loose around the carb bodies, but I think they'll be fine.  They were off ebay, but other than that, they matched the old ones identically.  A previous owner had used a set of those radiator hose clamps, instead of the springs, which are probably fine to re-use, but I have a thing about replacing parts like those back to stock, so I'm gonna order the springs.

Man Partzilla is fast (as opposed to these eBay sellers)!!  Got another batch from them today that I ordered only a few days ago.  My engine cover gaskets, oil filter, and some various o-rings and such.

Pic of the carbs, boots, & airbox put together.
