I only wanted to chime in as I started to question whether the zx600c cvk32's I am using on my 750 have the tiny hole in the butterfly, so I had to go out the garage and check. I had to lift up the needle slide and hold a light in my mouth and look down the throat, (so I couldn't get a photo) but my carbs do have the tiny hole in the butterfly. I knew they had the three blending ports as If they didn't, I would have been reluctant to use the carbs. I also went and looked at the damaged set of Zephyr cvk32's that I initially used, and they also have the tiny hole in the butterfly.
As for those blending ports, years ago, I stumbled on Tech Q&A on Factory Pro's website and it had some incredibly useful information on how those three blending ports work and how to better tune the idle circuit. It helped me solve a issue where I had my idle set to "high" and it had uncovered one of the unmetered ports so it made the idle mixture way too rich and I kept trying to lean it out with the mixture screw. Once I stumbled on this it instantly made sense.....
"As far as the pilot... Look at it this way...
There are 4 outlet holes for the pilot mixture. ~3-4 at the butterfly and one "downstream" of that (for 75% of the idle mixture).
1 hole is controlled by the mixture screw and with the other 3 or 4, max flow is limited by the size of the pilot jet.
At idle, 1 hole (metered by the fuel screw) and 1 un metered hole are open.
At cruise, when the "butterfly" is just "cracked", all 3-4 unmetered holes + the 1 metered one are uncovered -
So.....
At cruise, you get those 3 unmetered holes + the metered hole... So, at least 75% of the fuel delivered at cruise is limited by the size of the pilot jet.
At idle, you get 100% of the trimmed 1 hole + a butterfly valve-trimmed amount of the other 3-4 metered holes.
Rule of thumb....
If you go 1 size larger or smaller on the size of the pilot jet, you will change the fuel screw ~1.5x richer or leaner to retain the original idle mixture -
Example:
You have a #40 pilot jet installed (with the proper main, needle height and fuel level already done) and to get best idle, you are 4.0 turns out (from lightly bottomed out).
Cruise seems lean....
So, I'd expect that I could richen the cruise with 1 size larger (42) pilot jet (size of pj is 75% of cruise mixture) and the "trim" the fuel screw "in" for best mixture for best idle (size of pilot is 25% of idle mixture).
To go back to ~ the same idle mixture, after going from 40 pj/4.0x to the 42........ try 2.5x
40 pj / 4.0x = our reference idle mixture
42 pj / 2.5x = ~ same idle mixture
38 pj /5.5x = ~ same idle mixture (this is a "stretch - after 4.5x, not much changes)
(Using another "rule of thumb", if you have the correct pilot jet, the fuel screw will end up at between 1.5x and 3.0x when set for best idle.)
