I know that it has been a long time since you posted this. I have just purchased an 84 ZN 700 A1 LTD and would really like to have specs on the carbs. I would appreciate any and all info on this matter as soon as possible. Thanks.

Our 84 700 LTD only has 4,000 miles and looks brand new (show room fresh). The dealer that had this bike had been working on the carbs and couldn't get them to stop leaking and gave up on the bike. We acquired it and thought we were smarter than they were (wrong!) and put carb kits in it, reset the floats, etc... and guess what!! the carbs still leak. We then pulled the carbs off of a 650 CSR and now it doesn't run at all. So we are back to the stock carbs and the leaking problem. Have any of you had such problems and do you have any ideas on how to correct the leaking?? Thanks.

84 700 LTD Carbs leaking

Gpz1100 said:
A few questions-
Leaking when running or shut down?
Leaking into crankcase or external leak?
1 carb or all?
It leaks when it is shut down. It is leaking externally as if the floats were stuck open. At least two of the cars are leaking. We have installed new needles. They didn't come with seats but the seats look good and they are clean. Also the petcock appears to be seeping which may explain a possible vacuum leak from the number two carb as it is dead at idle but kicks in under acceleration. Thank you.

82 GPZ1100 Eddie Lawson?

Now, I have a completely different bike that I have questions on. It is a 1982 GPZ1100 with a commemorative Eddie Lawson sticker under the factory clear coat in the center of the tank. I can't find any information on a Eddie Lawson GPZ1100. All I can find info on is the 1000 or the current 1200. Do you by any chance know of a site that I can go to or do you know anything about this bike? It is lime green. Thanks for any insight that you can give me. We are going to be starting on this project soon. mulliganmc

So you think that it has been repainted and the sticker put on the tank before the clear coat? And while I am asking stupid questions...do you know how to read a VIN#? Thanks.
