Hi Foxy there's only one vacuum pipe on the carbs. It goes from the n°3 carb to the fuel tap in order to open it.

Finding a Z1 for a fair price becomes difficult. Most of these bikes are owned by people who want to keep them.
Keep on searching for your dreambike. Good luck !

Hi Peter

welcome to the club!

Good luck with it.
