Baldphil Posted July 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2021 just purchased 1983 xvz1200. Noticing wet carb bodies, strong smell of gas, and horrible gas mileage. Fuel line into carbs is secure. Getting ready to pull carbs. What should i be looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted July 10, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2021 Stuck floats and/or bad float valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldphil Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 10, 2021 Got one of the float bowls off. Going to order a rebuild kit. All i seem to find are ones for xvz1300. Are these the same carbs on my xvz1200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysons87venture Posted July 10, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 10, 2021 Slightly different I believe, I know the bodies are not the same but the internal parts could be the same, I will go through my parts and let you know if someone doesnt give you answer sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldphil Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks! Im looking at the float needles. Most ive seen have a rubber tip. The ones i have are just solid metal. Would these be the originals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysons87venture Posted July 10, 2021 Share #7 Posted July 10, 2021 I just tore apart 1200 and yes it had a metal rounded end vs the rubber that the 1300 has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysons87venture Posted July 11, 2021 Share #8 Posted July 11, 2021 I wonder if you could clean yours up and get it working right again, is the valve stuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
