The carb pictured on the right is even older than your bike and was almost never used on a KZ1000 (I’m sure there’s a crazy person out there somewhere). The VM26 and VM28 carbs are VERY common and rebuilding them is far simpler and satisfying then any of the newer carbs Kawasaki tried.

Why is my 1978 Kawasaki Kz1000 not cranking?
I recently got a ’78 KZ1000 that had sat for 8 years and the previous owner had tampered with the carbs. At first, fuel came out of the overflows and the bike wouldn’t crank except with ether. Got the bowls off & got the floats cleaned & freed up and happy. Found 3 of the jets were 100% clogged.
