Right im currently watching a very local set of bike carbs

Can anyone tell me if they will be okay?

There from a Kawasaki ZX10 1000CC 1993

obviously they need a manifold which i might fab up myself depending.

Dont know thats the only details ive gto so far. most ly fromt he advert the engine seize was a question i asked

waiting to hear back about if it has the airbox mounts ans manifold clips.

Does choke size matter? what should i be looking for?

There really cheap at the moment. sub £10

im thinking at the moment of having a play if they are alright but making a manifold for the stock renault engine in the 340 just to see what they're like.

As ive just started a new job for a 3 week period so will use most of that moolah on the 1.8 engine and rebuilding & performance. and then my new job in jan for insurance and so on.

Supose at the price they are its worth a shot!

I'd also assume its worth emailing kawasaki to get what information i can on the carbs.

Haynes do a book each for weber/solex and stromberg carbs, with lots of useful info in, they may have teh same for bike carbs?

They are probably keihin, if so they have a reasonably comprehensive website on most of their carbs. as the seller to email you with any markings on them to find out.

Heck I'll just buy them anyway if they stay low. Worth the risk I can always sell on. Saves hassle chasing questions with under 24hrs to go.
