I have used the Keyster carb kit ,fuel tap from Zpower all good .You may need your choke plungers resealed.!
Re: Z1 900 A4 carb gasket kit recommendation.
Thanks for prompt reply, have just looked on their site. £140 for the kits. They haven’t got fuel taps in stock, anyone know the difference between a £75 tap from them against a £18 from flea bay.

Re: Z1 900 A4 carb gasket kit recommendation.
Keyster carb kits are tops, as for the fuel taps i have had both ebay and the £75 jobbies, identical in every way including fuel let by, go for pingel and pay only once.
Re: Z1 900 A4 carb gasket kit recommendation.
I have used Keysters for years, 3 suppliers Sirius Consolidated in the US, NRP in Manchester UK and of course good old Z Power.
Kit quality is good, I bought a set from a german supplier and all the the float bowls leaked, replaced with Keyster, no problem! Lesson learned

Re: Z1 900 A4 carb gasket kit recommendation.
Also agree that Keyster are the best kits out there. I have had zero issues with them.

Re: Z1 900 A4 carb gasket kit recommendation.
only thing i would say is i've had issues with the air screws in keyster kits so unless your original ones are mullered i wouldn't swap.
swapped in my Z1 - bike was awful off tickover. Put originals back in perfect.

I've never encountered that issue, but I would always keep the original internals unless they are, as you say 'mullered'..

Thanks for the feedback.
The Z1 gasket prototypes are now approved and being manufactured. Hopefully a few weeks until I have them in stock.

Same here, but on my CB750 K1 - new air screws fitted and stuck fast trying to adjust them out and the screws just chewed up the heads and one sheared half of the drive slot as it wouldn't support the torque required to turn it.
Luckily Mark Kelleher (needaz110r) managed to get the buggers out, probably slightly oversized despite being the right kit for the bike. Original are now back in.
