Carburetor Identification Z12 00 ? Z900 ?
Posted: Sun May 15, 2022 11:19 am
Can anyone identify a set of unusual looking carburettors ?
Previous owner said Z900.
Code on inlet flange is Z12 00
Carb is 26mm bore VM26
Only single idle mixture screw on top side - no volume control screw underneath.
Unusual looking synchronisation mechanism under top covers (3 screw cover) NOT the usual single screw/locknut adjuster. Has a 2 part mechanism with a spring, a bolt and a screw / locknut - looks just like the mechanism in VM29 SS Smoothbore. Not a smoothbore carb though.
Outside of inlet horn where Airbox fits has only one ridge / ring around the outside - the normally bigger second ridge (closest to carb body - stops the airbox pushing on too far) is missing except for a short section approx 8mm at the top / 12.00 position.
Float bowls, floats etc look like usual Z900.
Choke plunger lifters look like Suzuki style (but could have been changed - carbs have clearly been worked on / dismantled)
ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME !!
