Measure and set the float height as per manual and then check the actual fuel level. Set in between the lower and upper edge of the bowl as shown and you'll be good to go.

Worth repairing as they would be worth around £3k in an as new condition. (repaired and rechromed).

I'd say the main clue is the quality of the external welded seam. It's pretty scabby on the OEM ones and nice and neat on the repros. I was also thinking about the peat shooter baffles, but not sure if theses featured on the Z1a/b..

Welcome. You have come top the right place.

Based on that exercise which took a year to complete, we found that Busso are plagued with quality issues and ineffective packing, meaning you have a 50/50 chance of being disappointed with your purchase and then deali...

Maybe it would have been but someone in the past has already botched it up. I'm hoping I can get hold of a replacement carb or carb body, sort it once and for all. Nigel, did you have a spare carb? Cheers. I've got a full set of z900a4/5 carbs in decent shape and will be nice after a refurb. I also...

Noting to worry about. I've seen them get half way up the plug hole, but never beyond that. You can weld them up but it's not worth it IMHO.

I've got quite few sets of 900a4 carbs. I might even have a body, will have to check.
