id start with a set of 26s off a 900/1000 as a really cheap wake up over those little 24s

If it's really a B2A they are even smaller than the normal KZ650 carbs; they are 22mm carbs. I don't know how many folks have put pods on them; you may be breaking new ground (have fun). Ed

They aren't the 22mm..
Put the puts on.. and the bike runs better.. kind of. It's definitely not quite there. When ridding, at about 6k RPM, the bike stalls. I'm assuming it's due to the jets (only switched out 1 set of jets). Also, It was a bad idea to use duct tape to bridge the gap with the boots to the air box.. The gas spill back pretty much melted the duct tape..
I ordered the 117.5 jets, but the ones I received were not for this carb (they were just the jet tips), so I'll need to order different ones.

Gasoline may have also made its way into the crankcase and contaminated the oil.
Would examine and sniff-test the oil. If there's a gasoline odor, would not run the engine until changing both oil and filter, and correcting the cause, which is often a leaking float valve, accompanied by a clogged overflow circuit (if there is an overflow circuit).
Good Fortune!
