update:

Well we seemed to have exorcised the Bog demon. :whistle:

With the help of all you guys on this forum, I have a beautifully running 1978 KZ1000.

It was dirty carbs, float levels and once the stock airbox was put on, the lean induced bog was gone. It runs like a superbike should. :cheer:

I still want to set the valve clearance to 10+

I put on 120 miles today. what a pleasure to ride these bikes.

I want to thank you guys for your input. I greatly appreciate it.

thank you,
Ronnie_D.
