carb rebuild kits

hi all looking for carb rebuild kits for my 81 650 csr. looking all over, can't seem to find complete kits. don't want to buy parts loose from more than one place. is this hard to do? or do i just start buying where i can one pc. at a time? my carbs are VM24SS. any ideas.



thanx jim.

You should have pumper carbs. You can use the standard kits (77-78) for everything except the bowl gaskets which are different than standard. The bowl gaskets are available from Z1 ( www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=311 ) and the accelerater pump kit also ( www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=49 )

The pumper carbs used the accelerater pump to make up for the lean jetting from 79 and up. I converted my carbs to standard specs with jetting and standard bowls.

I posted this in one of your other topics about a week ago.

Z1Enterprises.com is a good place to get stuff for the bike & the customer service is great. I don't know if they (or anyone) have rebuild kits for the 81 CSR. You could buy the gaskets & starter plunger caps, and get a metric o-ring kit from HarborFreight or somewhere (nitrile or viton rubber). And see if Z1 can get the starter plunger o-rings - not sure if Kawasaki still lists them as Active (Z1 can get dealer parts).

Or to save trouble finding the o-rings, CycleOrings.com is operated by a guy who sells kits that have the correct size o-rings. The HF/etc metric kits don't have exactly the same size as stock, but they'll work.

Some extra info added:
Z1 also has K&L main jets & pilot jets if you need those. The stock main jets are on the lean side. With the stock exhaust & airbox you can probably install 95 or 97.5; someone else w pumper carbs stated that the 102.5 were too big (bluemeanie maybe?).

thanx bluemeanie, not sure what u mean by pumper carbs. bike is stock orig. FSM says i have VM24SS carbs, are these the same? sorry for dumb question, not to good with carbs.

I would agree, jets seem to be something I have to poke around for, even for the 900. I would call them and get their opinion/assistance.
