Used 17.5 Pilot Jets please .....Z900 type

#1 PostAuthor: johny brando » Sun Apr 21, 2019 6:56 am

Hi all,
I'm asking if any one has a used , spare set of 17.5 Pilot jets from either a Z900 or 28mm later type ZIR-MK2 Z1000 carbs that they might wanna pass on or sell. I'd like to sharpen up the "for want of a clearer definition " the Blip- response on my Kawa 900 ! The motor needs choke to start it ...then as soon as it's running - straight away -take the choke fully off..... then for the first 1.5 miles the carburation it's as sharp as a knife & blips " crisply & cleanly " BUT then as it approaches normal running temp it loses that crispness & won't cleanly blip any more....yet in ever other aspect it is fine !
I have been over everything & I'm certain every thing else is 100% so I'd like to try the next size down Pilot jets ...these are the "standard size one's " 17.5 Pilot jets fitted in Z900 carbs & the LATER type 28mm carbs fitted to Z1R's & MK2's would likely be OK too ... I think there 15's in those. I hope some one has a cruddy set tucked away some where . Please PM me if you can help out. Cheers all, Johny B

I've probably got some, but I'm in the UK.
You should be able to pick some up via EBay though.
