Re: Another carb question or 3
Just had a thought, when I owned this bike in the late 90’s I had o put an inline fuel filter on because the tank had a coating of old dried out petrol lining it, so when I put petrol in it all partially dissolved but enough to clog up jets etc, from what I can remember from 20 yrs ago the symptoms ...

Re: MK2 Ignition coil resistance
I believe ballast resistors are only needed on low ohm coils, you remove it when using Dyna 3ohm coils.

Carb orientation in plate
Hi guys
I have had my Mk2 carb bodies away for vapour cleaning and now ready to rebuild, as they are slightly different from each other how can I tell which carb body is supposed to be no.1, 2,3 and 4 as they do not have any identification numbers I can see.
Cheers
Gavin

Re: Z1000 caliper spacers
Well it appears all 4 are missing and pretty unavailable in the UK, so need to come up with a plan B which looks like getting a batch of M10x16mm shim washers and using them as the spacers.
Need to go to a plan C the washer I mentioned are exactly 10mm ID so no clearance, bugger.

Re: Z1000 caliper spacers
Cheers Keith, I will check, it appears when I pull the lever the calipers, well the left one has quite a lot of movement before the pad touches the disc.

Re: Z1000 float chamber issue
Cheers Keith & Garry,
It was cracked just below the point it enters the aluminium body, had a couple of tries with no success then decided the open the crack up a little and put lots of solder in, then drilled the tube clear of solder,
Jobs a good un it doesn’t leak.

Z1000 float chamber issue
Hi guys
I have just noticed on No. 4 carb,one of the overflow tubes has cracked inside the chamber where it enters the casting, are these tubes available from anywhere or is it a new chamber required, unfortunately it is off a set of pumper carbs so is slightly different
Cheers
