KZ1000 carb help, identify??? was created by AR15Ron
Need some help with identifying these carbs, choosing the right ones, figuring out what the difference is etc.
One set came from an unknown bike I think was older than mine. One set is off my 1978 KZ1000. I think the set I have has the hoses connected wrong but I'm not sure. I sold the bike 8 years ago and just got it back. It's not in such nice condition anymore. Could use some advice on which carbs to use and if I can just swap from one set to other as needed while I rebuild the other set. As far as I know the bike is stock with a Kerker 4/1 and POD's. I don't know if either set of carbs has ever been re-jetted. Any help is appreciated!

Here are 3 pics of the carbs that came off the bike:

I've read that a lot of people swap to the 28's, can I just toss those on there without making any other changes? I might have lucked out since I had the thought to try and find some 28's or 29's after seeing other people seemed to like those better :)
Couldnt beat the price anyway! A friend of mine threw away a whole KZ1000 that had a blown motor, all he saved were the carbs. They were pretty sorry looking when I got them, those pics are after extensive cleaning, but I walked out with 'em for free. Wish I had known back then I would be wanting some parts, I would have taken the bike.
