One carb is definitely different on the bottom and has two uncovered flanges. Any ideas? Solutions?
Picture coming as soon as I get it cropped.

Anyone have pics of what is supposed to be there? And, should I plug those ports until I can do something about it?

Try a search for your carb type on the site. Also go to the Kawasaki parts fiche and see if the carb for your bike lists out all of the accelerator pump parts. This may help.

Motor Head: I doubt it's just an unused casting. I'm sure all that brown in the area is from fuel coming from the flanges and ports.
The whole point is: should I be worried? And do I need to do anything about it?

Is your accel pump linkage still there?
You can see in the other posts where the linkage goes, and how the hoses connect to each bowl nipple.
I think there is a check valve inside the bowl also.

...should I be worried? And do I need to do anything about it?
Perhaps the pump has been rendered non-functional, but does twisting the throttle grip cause any fuel to squirt from the nipples?
Good Fortune!
