Hi
Bought a carb balance kit for my 1990 FZ750 but the brass extension rods appear to be to small to screw into the carb ports (M5 & M6 possibly?) Pretty sure the kit is universal as there looks like hundreds of them have been sold. Is the FZ different to the vast majority of other bikes?
TIA

Welding tips (either M5 or M6, depending on the size of the hole) work perfectly in place of the kit

Last time I needed some I borrowed them from the mechanic at my local bike shop (Johns of Romford). Returned them with a four pack of larger and the chap was happy.

I needed some adapters in a hurry for my FZR1000R and so found some ally bolts and drilled them.Together with a rubber seal they worked perfectly until I could order the extension kit from Morgan Carbtune Thumbs Up
