For pods, you will need adjustable needles. Either the dynojet ones or adjustable factory needles available in most rebuild kits. For a starting point, try 98 mains, needle clip at the third groove from the top (on either type of needle), and 34 pilots.

Ive got adjustable needles already.
Can I get these size jets somewhere or do I have to drill out the ones I have?
I haven't found them anywhere but you may know of someplace that I haven't checked.

Try jetsrus.com

I'm waiting to hear back in this thread:

I think he is ordering some Keihin mains from Z1. Then we'll see if they are a substitute for Tk mains.

There are no larger pilots, so if you want to go bigger on the pilots, you'll have to drill them.

Some people just go bigger on the mains to mask the leanness of the stock pilots, but I find the bike is a little too rich then, under heavy acceleration, and gets slightly sluggish on really hot days. You would only notice if you spend a lot of time on the bike.

I have 84 kz550ltd ..has issues with leaking gas..thought it was petcock..not rebuilt carbs yet..also am in process of switching to air pods..any advice?

That should make it a shaft-drive Ltd, correct?

That uses TK26 CV carbs. Dynojet makes a kit for the, very similar, TK26 CV carbs on the 1982/83 Kz550H1/H2 gpz bikes. I think you can yuse the same kit for your bike. You might end up slightly richer, so if you can then find Keihin mains that are a little smaller than the Dynojet jets (they numbers are the diameter of the orifice in hundredths of a mm, but the orifice cross sections are different so the numbers might not correspond exactly).

Cool..thanks a lot..not got it together yet..waiting on ordered starter..pods are on the way..interested to see how it runs after installing.

Update:got starter in,and air pods on.rode around the block..seems like it runs same as before..thank god..still need 27002-1051 starter relay to get kill/run to work on handle bar,but other than that..seems good..thanks for advice guys..blue wire was red herring it appears!

Did notice quite a different sound with air pods switch.
