Anyone done the Kwak GPZ Carb conversion

[veedub1955]

Has anyone done the GPZ500 carb conversion, I have mounted them successfully as they
slip straight onto the XS rubbers no problems and done a small modification to accept the
XS throttle cable

However I can only get the engine to start on Eazystart and it wont idle so this points
towards jetting, has anyone successfully jetted these to suit? thanks

Bugger, Ive just sold my GPZ carbs to fund a set of 34 roundslides..I cant remember the size of the new jets I put in there to make her run as I dug them out of a jam-jar full of old 'uns I had . I know the pilot was a fair size bigger, I think the mains were untouched but the previous owner ran his Kwak with open pipes & K&N's so they were probably oversize anyhow.
Mine ran great with them on though..
Im about to stick another set of ER/GPZ carbs on another XS so I'll keep you posted as too which jet changes I go for.
In the meantime , if I can see if I can ask the bloke who bought them to look inside

Why switch to GPz carbs?
