Hey there, i have a 1979 special that i bought as a project. The clock shows 18k. All in all a clean bike but i'm really getting tired of chasing carburetor gremlins. Over the years a couple of float posts were snapped off and there was a broken easy out in one pilot jet.as stock carbs seem to be at a premium i am curious to know if anyone has explored replacing the stock carbs with those from another make or model that may be more readily available? I want to thank everyone for all the valuable info as it has been a great help in this project, johnny

Look up threads on ZRX Carbs, also a couple folks have upgraded to fuel injection.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Yeah, the ZRX carbs are supposed to work pretty well, you do however have to modify them to add a vacuum barb for the vacuum advance to one of the carbs though. A couple of the guys figured out just where and how to do it though, and got it to work really smoothly and reportedly with smoother power and better mileage.Cy
