Hi There Zed.....Thanks for the quick response on this....Greatly Appreciated.  Yes, my carbs have the three bolt top caps so I guess there are VM26SS. I went to your Ebay page and ordered a set of your jets. Hoping to get them in a couple of weeks. I am praying that this will resolve my issues with this bad hesitation. So just to be clear on what I have to do is: Put the factory pilot jet ( #17.5 ) back in the carb pack, set the needle clip to mid position and go to a #117.5 main jet and not a #120. Please advise on this at your convenience. Thanks again

YES! Everything back to stock and main jet one size up from stock.
Also some vm26 carb banks with fuel screw underneath are made up of all left handed bodies.
If this is the case then the all the jets need to be installed in the 4 o'clock position.
Any doubts just post a pic of the carb mouths for verification.

Thanks a ton Zed for the info on this. Still enjoying my ride for now ( even with the hesitation issue ) but taking it easy on the throttle until I get the parts installed. Will keep you and everyone following this thread on how I make out once the parts are installed. Cheers...........

The air jets make a big difference. On my 33's they are changeable but I had to make one more step to fine tune them in. I had to go larger and add one more hole in the emulsion tube to get it gnats ass.

With the stock carbs I don't think you'll have to go that far.

I received the Air Corrector Jets a few days ago, installed today. OMG what a difference. No more hesitation, no pops, no misses, no fluttering... just a smooth throttle all the way to red line. Acceleration has improved dramatically, I didn't know the KZ650 could run so good with pods. Well worth the money... THANKS!

They can't fail to do what they are designed for and you should get better MPG and top end power too.

Hi Zed
Wookie thought you might be able to help me out with my carb jetting.
I’ve got a 1978 kz1000 with VM26 carbs, bike came without the airbox, so I installed UNI air filters.
It’s got a Mac header. Right now it has a 110 main jet and a 15 pilot jet. 
Needle jet is set in the third / middle notch. I installed new carb holders and set the floats as per manual.
I can get the bike to idle but have to really feather the throttle to get it any more than that.

On a side note. I can’t seem to find your air correctors on eBay?
Thanks in advance

Hi.
For pod use you should fit air correctors to clear the off idle bogging/hesitation.
Leave ALL other jets and needle position (middle) etc STOCK and just increase the mains.
Your stock main should be 105 and increased to 107.5 so the 110 is large enough and may need reducing.

Here's a link to the air correctors.
