The Vintage Bike Forum is proud to announce member ironpan65 as our 4th QUARTER, 2011 featured bike owner. He is entitled to a 1/2 price carburetor rebuild at any time during the calender year supplied by the site host, wiredgeorge Motorcycle Carburetors.
ironpan65 shares his beautiful 1965 Harley Davidson Panhead
Last year for the Panhead...First year for Electric Start....Not Completely Original, but have had my hands on every nut and Bolt...and need to continually do so in order to ride it every summer...Still a work in progress
Bike wasn't running when I got it about 15 years ago. Did some Top end work....changed out the Carb...Trany work etc. Kickstart only as this bike doesn't have the Electric start primary
One of my favorites... ironpan65

I am planning on replacing my current motor on my KZ1000 with a rebuilt Z1R engine; at 1075cc, and 400 lift cams. I currently have the old "two-screw" Mikunis, and I assume that they are 28mm; I was told that they are 1974-1975 models. What jets should I use with these carbs, and should the float height be changed. I have VM30s on order with George, but I would like to have a nice late autumn ride before putting her up for the winter. ....or should I wait for the carbs that I have on order.

I am trying to figure out what is making my rear wheel hard to turn. It has been sitting for a few months, but covered up.  63 Views | 4 Replies

Hi guys
I have confused myself to a standstill with this one now so would appreciate any advice that can be given please.
A bit of background first as it is relevant. I have a US import KZ650C1 which is fitted with Mikuni VM24 carbs (no accel pump type).
When I got the bike it was a complete nightmare...the PO was a messer that had no idea what he was doing, but around 2 thousand quid and many hours later....the bike is now a minter ....except for the carbs.
The PO ran K&N pods with an Alfa 4-1 exhaust setup but the bike ran appallingly. He had...

This is my latest project. I have never seen this bike in this area. I had to pull the carbs and clean them. I hope it will run!   107 Views | 8 Replies

We found these carburetors in some old inventory and want to see if anyone can help us identify them? We think they are CR750 carbs but not OEM's.

I have a 1976 LTD that I am planning on restoring. Can't identify these wheels, don't think they're stock. Anyone know what they came off of?   171 Views | 10 Replies

My bike has not run right since supposedly having the carbs rebuilt a number of years ago. Two years ago I found a guy that pulled them off and cleaned them and it ran like new, for a very short period of time. Then I cleaned a bunch of gunk out of my tank, replaced the filters and cleaned the jets again. It starts nicely, accelerates great but at cruising speed it feels like it's running out of gas. I was talking with a guy that is going to be working on my bike; I told him that I had cleaned the jets and he asked me if I had cleaned the emulsion tubes? I said, "What emulsion...
