But my 1982 KZ1000's pilot jet plugs are indeed metal with o-rings (the pilot jet plug is located inside the float bowel) - not rubber as some are (including the ones pictured in the link). Search on part number 92066-1087 at ronayers.com for the plug, and 92055-1059 for the o-ring (part numbers from kawasaki.com under owner info, part diagram for your scoot).
All the pilot screw plugs (located on the outside of the carb) were missing from my scoot since I got it about 20-years ago.

The pilot jet plugs in the BS34s I have on my GPz 1100 are also metal, see the pic below. Not sure which bike the carbs came from (GPz 1100 is born with FI), but some po installed the plugs so deep that all four are completely stuck and impossible to get a grip on, my only option is to drill a hole in them and insert a self-tapping screw in them to hopefully pull them out - I need to know what size pilots are in there plus I absolutely hate parts being stuck on my bikes.
I was told the rubber plugs are a straight swap for the metal plugs, at $ 9 for a set of four I'm willing to give it a try.

Also, that pilot screw cover prevents dirt from getting into the pilot screws threads. On most other carbs there is an o ring above the pilot screw threads, relative to the screw head. The BS34's place the o ring below the threads just above the needle tips.

My pilot jet plugs had a shoulder, so there's no way to sink them in as someone did to yours; the rubber plugs also have a shoulder. Maybe use a drill press if you have access to one.
