 ZB34GS = 500cc Gold Star, 2164 = from the 1950 model year.

If you are rebuilding it then the bore and stroke measurements (85 x 88mm) should confirm this?

Nigel (Vintagebike) can possibly give you more Gold Star info?

The best info I can find were the recommended B34 Monobloc settings:

Choke 1 -1/8
Main Jet - 240
Throttle Valve - 389/3
Needle Position 2
Needle Jet - .1065

Probably a good starting point anyhow.
Cheers

Nigel.
