1983 kz550 ltd problems

its carb holders not the airbox ones

will boots from a 750 fit the 550 carb or no?

No, I don't think they would fit.

i order some carb boots from ebay hopefully they are in good condition with no cracking and still are soft

on the bike i got all new carb boots had the bike running perfect so i hooked up air filters the ones that connect to each carb and put the tank back on and hooked up the emmission lines to the carb and now it wont idle again i have no idea what could be the new problem any ideas?

OK, so let me get this... The bike was running fine without any air filters?

Even with the pod filters installed it should still start and idle. Is the fuel on? Is the fuel line clogged?
loosen drain bolt on bottom of carb (with a small cup underneath) and see if gas flows freely out of bowl.

Pull plugs: are they wet with gas, or dry?

If bike will run but not idle, turn up the idle for now till done tuning.

i had the bike running great perfect idle and everything then plugged in the emmission crap tank and put the filters on it starts after twisting the throttle for a little to get it to turn wont stay at idle tried adjusting air screws yes gas is on there gas in them and they flow freely it overflows after trying to start it with no attemp though so does that mean a jets clogged?

ok so the problem was a bad petcock so i rebuilt that the bike is running great now the problem is i dont have a front brake master cylinder that works and they no longer make the right rebuild kits for this bike all i really need is the little rubber pieces anybody know where i can get the rubber pieces a full master cylinder or the piston??
