Hello from Poland :) was created by Bobowski
Hello :)

My name is Sebastian I`m 26yo, and I`m from Poland(you have to forgive me my grammar :X)
I just bought my first bike for project. It`s 1983 GPz 550.
At the moment I have problem with starting the motorcycle.
At first I drained tank out of fuel to clean it, then I`m planning to clean petcock, and clean and sync carbs.
Since it`s winter project I have plenty of time (ofc i want to do it asap)
I want to restore it and modify a little bit.(pic in attachment).
I was looking for some info about my carbs, it seems that most of them have idle screw betwen 2 and 3 carb, and my screw is just below 1st one(pic rel,the one with bottle).
It`s squishy and I cant feel if it`s turned in full or not :X. I`m gonna make topic at carburetor category as well. Also I`m wondering if it`s TK26 ? Where I can check it?
I`ll provide some more photos tommorow :)

Welcome aboard, and thank you for the pictures.

For TK carb questions, search the forum for posts by user name loudhvx. In his signature line are links to a ton of TK and kz550 information.

By the way, if you click the Insert All button when posting pictures, they will show up in the post so readers do not have to click each one.
