1979 KZ1000LTD B3

Does anyone out there know how to adjust the accelerator pump rod on a 79 KZ1000 LTD? I just got the carbs back together and that is the last step so I can install them back on the bike. I am a relatively new mechanic on Kaw's. I mostly work on honda's and suzuki's. I don't want to have to buy a manual. Hope someone can help or direct me to a tutorial on the subject. Thanks

measure the rod below adjustment nut you want like 10 1/2 to just under 11mm adjust it to that range;)
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Hey there, was that dimension from the end of the rod to the leading edge of the nut or to the lever? The reason I am asking is because when I set it at 10.5 mm to the nut,it seems like the plunger has very little room left to do anything. I set it to 10.5 to the lever and it seemed to be working better. I am just asking. Thanks
