Williespeed Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Ratsun.net I'm new here and I just bought me another 720. I've had a few 620's and this is my second 720 my first being a 1980 model. I bought it because it was in good shape a little rust here and there but thats what life is like in the northwest rust is a part of life. The skid plates are all virgin and the wiring harness hasn't been hacked so I went for it. but it doesn't stay running. It runs decent enough but on a slight uphill grade it just falls on it's face and dies it restarts sometimes with a little effort, so I replaced the fuel filter. I'm new to the Z22 and will check the far left fuse for the exhaust side coils. I pulled the carb because I was supposed to get a rebuilt from a guy who hasn't come thru. So I am looking at the webers now as well the Weber site says 34DGEC and I saw it recommended to use the 32/36 and stay the hell away from the 34/34. That all said it has 229k on the clock and I have poked around but I can't find a rebuild kit for the Z22 or for the carb anybody know where I can locate such things or what a painless swap is from the Z22? What I mean by painless is straight swap no motor mt changing or exhaust or any of that. I would kinda like to keep the 22 even though it's only a 3 year motor and the 24 is a little larger. Unless someone has a good argument not to use the 22 any info would be greatly appreciated. I like to go wheelin but the primary use is commuting so reliability and economy are key factors for me. Another question is I had I think 3 hard lines on the carb that were not plugged or connected but one was are some of the metal vacuum lines on the carb unused? Quote Link to comment

Sealik Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Some Hitachi carbs for the Z22/Z24 will have 2 0r 3 hardlines plugged on the carb, basically relative to year, emissions/locale. Go with the 32/36....most likely the Hitachi is worn out, don't waste your time with it. Z22 is a good block....bore it out and slap an L head on it Quote Link to comment
Williespeed Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 So what will the L head do for me? and I assume I want to use the L20B head of any of the L's but I don't know Quote Link to comment
