Hey guys, quick question: On my org. 26mm Mikuni's on my '78 KZ1000 LTD, the airscrews on the bottom of the carbs have a plastic thumbscrew with stops that slips over the brass airscrew. Can I run the bike without these, or will the screws turn out of position without them. If I need them, where can I get them. Didn't see them on Z1.... Thanks in advance!

Toss 'em.

The purpose was to discourage us incompetent boob owners from monkeying too much with the fuel ratio. :laugh:

Like motorcycle emissions count for a whole lot in the overall scheme of things. :S

Good Fortune! :)

They had a little notch on them.
So you could only get about a 1/4 turn out of them.
I think I have a set if your interested.
