KZ1000P idle issues

I recently added Emgo pods to the bike, and tis is when my issues started. Initially, the boots were cracked, but werent leaking. When I added the pods, it looks like the added amount of movement caused further cracking of the boots. I got that issue resolved, and now this one popped up.
The bike idles fine. When I crack the throttle, there is a small flat spot that I realize is jetting. I have jets ordered to fix that issue. After the initial flat spot, the bike revs fine, but after releasing the throttle, it takes a bit long to return to idle, if it even does. Often, it will only drop to 2k rpm. I have checked the throttle cables, and they are not binding, the throttle snaps shut with authority. All vacuum ports are plugged, with the exception of the port linked to the vacuum petcock.
The petcock has a small leak and needs to be rebuilt, but I have a hard time believing that the entire issue is the possible small vacuum leak in the petcock. The only other thing I can think of would be the air screw O-rings, but they didnt cause any issues before the pod swap.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I have done the carb spray around the intakes thing, and the idle doesnt change. I am about to pull my hair our figuring on this one.

The J/P series engines do not use manifold vacuum nipples.
My bad! :blush: Had looked at carbs under 94KZ1000P on Z1E site and saw vacuum plugs listed.
But to muddle onward, despite zilch experience with BS34's - are the carbs properly synched. And are the pilot adjustment screws set correctly (if applicable to BS34's )?
Just trying to help liliysdad on Father's Day.
