z1a carbs, poss wrong ones.

[floydsz1]

Can anyone let me know if all the carbs on the z1a were the same as the z1, ie big nut on the bottom of the float bowl. Mine is a late z1a but it has the screw type drain plug on the side off the float bowls,
cheers,

HI' Z1A CARBS ARE NOT THE SAME AS Z1 MICKY HESSE BOOK SHOWS SCREW TYPE AS YOU HAVE.

Thanks for that compo,
in my z1a handbook it clearly shows the early type (nut) drain plug, but pressume they changed the type of drain plug on later z1a's.

The earlier Z1As had the same type of float bowl as the Z1,have a look at this section on Jeffs site http://www.z1enterprises.com/reference/ ... guide.aspx

Thanks for that Ian,
just what i was looking for, it also ties in with the dyna ign i bought from jeff re the later ign advance. everything's fine and just how it should be,

Z1A carbs were the same as z1 but changed part way through production. So yes some had the bolts in the float bowl others appear like z1B style, however, if you take a look at where the main jet screws into the body you'll notice two holes for the starter jet, as per z1 only one of which is tapped, this was removed on the Z1B. I could write a book..

Sorry, I've just returned a set of restored carbs off of a later z1A otherwise I'd post some images. I'm about to have 3 sets of Z1 carbs delivered for resto and I'll post some images over the weekend.
