1977 KZ400 carb kits?

I cannot find carb kits anywhere for this bike, I ordered one on
amazon and It’s not correct, the jets are too small in the kit and most the
Carbs look different upon google search

My carbs look just like the keihin one in the picture. All the kits have round o rings
And smaller jets. My carbs have a house shaped float bowel gasket.

Thanks y’all

What needs replacing? Did the fuel bowls gaskets leak? Did the fuel valve needle not seal?

I rarely use “kits”. Most of the time you can reuse jets unless it looks like someone drilled them out. I’ve always been able to clean them.

For replacement jets, I’ve heard good things about JetsRUs.

Most provide Round o-rings to fit bowls...like a one shape fits all deal, as they are made from flexible rubber and can be shaped to fit.

Looks like my local dealership sells every individual part for 1977 KZ400 carbs including complete assemblies ready to bolt in. 8). For both 1977 A-1 and A-2 models

Easy Peasy, I wish they offered all the oem/nos parts for my Hondas. :p

Also, buying online gives a automatic 10% discount, I just have stuff shipped to store for FREE pickup. (two days)
If I walk into the store and order same parts it costs me 10% more. It's silly, I know.

But a lot of the time they are cheaper on parts than buying aftermarket on eBay. 8)
