Hi KZriders need your HELP!! :ohmy:

I had to change the libranes of my KEIHIN D 757 carbs (KZ 400 D, 1977) due to several holes in there.
Now I want to install the new libranes on the vacuum piston.
BUT: I DID NOT MARK the position of the vacuum piston/libranes. Now I have no idea in which position the two tiny holes next to the jet needle have to be in the carb. Do they have to face towards the air filter? Has anybody of you a picture of this carb type with the top cap off? Since now I know WHY there is a kind of marking in the libranes - but I already cut them off.. :(
Hopefully someone´s able to help me.
As I´m new here I try to upload pics of my KZ400 Cafe later on these days.
Regards from Austria!

Engine side, towards the motor. Those little holes need to see engine vacuum, which will increase as the throttle blades are opened.
Hope this helps.
