zzr600 carbs

[tigmatt]

I have been given a set of zzr600 carbs would these be ok to use on my 1.8cvh?

The ones in the link are the ones i have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-ZZR600D-carbs-/280863861037?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4164ca692d

most bike carbs are pretty similar and made by either of the two big manufactures.
They should be fine as long as they are in good nick.
Note megajolt requires a tps or manifold pressure sensor so generally people find carbs with a tps built in.

I have been doing a little more research on these carbs and the bike they come from does not use a fuel pump to deliver the fuel, the fuel is gravity feed from the tank. Am i going to have a problem if i fit a bike pump to deliver the fuel instead of gravity feed?

Was looking for a set of zx6r carbs but they seem to be a bit pricey on ebay. I got these carbs for free so would like to try and use them if i can.

Why do people tend to fit carbs with a tps? From the research i have done they both seem to be as equally good as each other

It is easier to connect the 3 wires to the TPS than connect into each runner, then a reservoir to get MAP to work well.

as long as the fuel pump delivers the right pressure I'm sure they will be fine.

Thanks for the help. i will have go with these carbs and see how it goes.

one last question, on the pic in the link there is a pipe on the top of the carbs with a piece of green tape on does any one know what this pipe is for?

looks like a vent pipe. iirc the float and diaphram vents link all together and then linked into the air filter so everything responds correctly for forward faceing air intakes (ram air) and all the fuel vapors get burnt in the engine.
for a carb conversion all you need to do is make sure its not blocked off and dirt cant get in.

as for carbs on your cvh i cant see any probs, jetting will need to be sorted as for any carb and if you are running megajolt or simmular a tps would be a good idea
