one question for the record, are these the stock carbs for a 78KZ650B??
With the air screw on the side, I'd say no, that they're not correct. Does the number 2 carb have the accelerator pump on it (you'll know it as it's much different than the other three)?
quick question...emgo pods? do they not need any oil?..i was under the impression all pods no matter the type needed oil to catch contaminants...????

i could be wrong, but the extra ribbing going horizontally on carb bodies is from an older style...???
All of the pictures and the 650s I've seen with Mikuni carbs, the carb bodies have the horizontal ribs.

If it was starvation I would think it would cut out while going 70 down the freeway, but it runs fine and has great power.
for now, 2 things I am trying - 1. is the "stuck advancer" theory (its all cleaned up and lubed) and 2. too lean on the pilot circuit. ( I will close my pilot air screws about 1/2 turn and see if it helps)
