Hey I am located in Blountville, is that close enough for ya. Bring it over and well see if we cant tear it up for ya. Seriously though I have a friend that is really good with motorcycles. I can get them clean, but he can fine tune them.

1969stepside · 08-25-2008, 07:25 PM

fastwillie 696969 · 08-25-2008, 08:22 PM

what size carbs. what model number on the carb, mk-23 mm something like that
you need to snyc the carbs after cleaning or rebuilding them

Since your in J.C. I would give Ken's Cycles a try. His shop is located. On 36 in between Kingsport and Boones' Creek. You can get the # from the phone book, but good luck getting them to answer. It's better to just drive over and go in to ask. They can get the parts.

1969stepside · 08-26-2008, 07:37 PM

yea its 50 bucks a kit

Well if your on a tight budget, you might just clean the carbs, and get it running first. That way, you will beable to tell what you need and what you don't.
My experience with buying bike parts. They ain't cheap.

I have the same basic set-up on my 80 KZ750. they work great and I'll be damned if I'm gonna touch them.

my neighbor is a great bike tech (former Twisted Chopper fame). he may be able to help.

fastwillie 696969 · 08-29-2008, 04:44 PM

like barry said clean them first
then tune them carbs are pretty tough,not unless the bike took pavement
i had kz1000tc dump it and the carbs were knock out of wack,never could get them to sync right one cylinder was always richer
