Ahh from top... then it was as stock position then.

You suggest I try to run the engine without doing any modification then or shall I go back to 15 pilot jet?

Just a little update on the choke plunger repair service.
I can now repair pretty much all rubber tipped MIKUNI plungers of both 8mm and 10mm diameter heads which covers most Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha machines including CV carbs. 
Hopefully this will also be of help to those running KZ and non KZ machines where these components are obsolete and no longer available new.

Ride Report....... . Last year I installed Zed1015's Air Corrector jet kit and was really pleased with the improvement in drivability on my 1980 KZ1000.  Over the winter, I sent my OEM Choke plungers to Zed1015 for service. The improvement is dramatic. The bike transitions from low to mid to top end flawlessly. I highly recommend his services/product.......

Yes! Always been a fan of Croz and it was a very pleasant surprise when i got his email .
Hopefully this "Major coup" might bring a bit more awareness to the plunger wear issue and lead to more than a set a week or so coming my way or maybe i should end my plunger repairing career on a high

A little update to this thread because i'm unable to edit and add a pic to the first post..

A reminder to be aware that  some VM26SS carb sets that are equipped with the FUEL mixture screws underneath are made up of all left or right handed carb bodies..
 
In this instance the jets must be installed in the air passage furthest away from the unmachined air screw boss.

In the case of left hand bodies ALL the jets should be fitted at the 4 o'clock position and on right handed bodies all at 8 o'clock..

See attached pic for example of a left hand body set with the jets installed in the 4 o'clock position..

Thanks.

Thank you for the update. I’m concerned now. I just installed your corrector jets into a Suzuki set with both air and fuel pilots screws. Please look at included photo. Hopefully I got the right. Thank you.
