I am assuming you have 26 or 28 mm carbs on your bike. With either you have an air screw, located on the air box side of the carb body, or a fuel screw located on the engine side of the carb body underneath and centerd that goes through the float bowl, or both if the carbs came off a uzuki. The air screw should turn out approximately 1 1/2 turns out as a reference. The fuel screw about 1 1/8 turns out as a reference. This will get you in the ball park. I might add, if the carbs came off a police bike the fuel screw is pluged with an aluminum plug.
Am addicted to Z1's and kz 900's have an el camino, fly rc helicoptors and am strung out on horsepower.
