Keihin CVK twin carbs from a 1-litre Kawaski "Mule" owned by an 85 year old pal. Severe leaking, rough running. Disassembly, clean and new gaskets, jets and diaphragms. Not unlike the Zed-S Strombergs in principle. Just "funny" in the way they're built. Needles were "fuzzy" and lots of crud and dirt in the bowls. Right one had a sticky piston, both diaphragms had edge slits in 'em, they had to be half-working. Gonna warn him it will now go the way it should.

Before & after.

Somewhat similar to the Dellorto sh 1/20 carbs on my Lambretta.
