Measured float height is notoriously unreliable.
Good Fortune!

Also on the twin, you can swap spark plug leads, one coil both fire at the same time. Hows the spark quality?
Whats the plugs look like? Test for vacuum leaks?

What happens when you apply the choke?
Probably going to be taking off and servicing the carbs.

Pretty hard to do on a twin, you would have to short one of the plug wires to ground. They are in series so they usually have to fire together. If you are firing only one, there must be an internal short somewhere from one end of the coil's output winding to ground.section8joe wrote: I've got some issues with a buddy's kz. It's popping out of the left cylinder. The carb's are synced and cleaned but the left cylinder runs rough and pops. I'm assuming that it's only running on one cylinder at times. //Should the bike run with one plug cap unplugged?
