on my 1980 ltd 1000 my petcock has 2 outlets and my carb has only one inlet? do I block one outlet or setup a two into one ? do all kz 900/1000 have the carbs with two gas lines going to carb?

I tried looking up the diagrams on Partzilla.com and it's really not very clear.  The parts diagram for the carb assembly does show two inlets.  The diagram for the tank lists part number 51023-1002 for the petcock.  Searching for that number only turns up this photo, which I can't quite make sense of.

I would post photos of the carbs.  Folks here will likely to be able to tell you if they are correct for your bike.

cool  never saw that petcock its the same as the dual outlet but one is closed off . after looking at the parts diagram on partzilla i dont have the original carbs my idle adjustment is done by the bottom of carb . carbs came of a police model or the z1r . realized that when ordering carb kits .
