As I said it is a 1979 KZ650C with 9,500 original miles. The guy that I bought it from put it all back together and said that it just needed the pilot air screws. Other than that I think it's all complete, however like I said this is my first bike. I traded a laptop(worth about $350) and $300 cash for it. It has a fairly new paint job that still looks good. Thanks for any input in advance. I can put pics up when I get back home.

Here is a couple pics of the carbs. Let me know if you need some at a different angle.
Am unsure about the shorter black hose to left of fuel line, but is probably a vacuum line to a vacuum operated petcock] EDIT - Kawasaki.com shows both type petcocks in the fuel tank diagram (i.e., manual operated and vacuum operated].
Photo is at wrong angle to show whether side located pilot air screws are fitted (or possibly bottom located pilot mixture screws fitted instead). Both type pilot screws are shown in the parts diagram on Kawasaki.com (see following post) --- guessing that means 1979 KZ660 might have either one style or the other. Part #32 was side located. Part #30 was bottom located (with a limiter cap). Perhaps the bottom located style came on later models to discourage large adjustments to the pilot circuit fuel mixture.

Edit -- the ??? shorter black tube is probably a vacuum line to the petcock.
Good Luck!
