Z1B carbs

#1 PostAuthor: zeddie » Sun Dec 27, 2020 3:37 pm

Hi, just a quick one. Are the standard carbs on a Z1A the same as Z1B? If so how much would I pay for a set? TIA.

Yes. Price depends on what sort of condition. £600-700 for a mint/refurbished set. £400 for a usable/tidy set and £250 for a rough set that need work.

Not necessarily. The Z1A carbs changed at approx Z1F32000 to the later type

Indeed - just checked in the Josh Brookes book - 328xx.

Thanks for that guys, being a lazy bigger I hadn't done any research on the subject but found some info this morning on zpower's site refering to the change of carbs during the z1a's production run.
I've seen a set from a Z1A going for reasonable money, I'm not worried too much about originality so I'll take a punt and fit them on my Z1B. Cheers.
