- no accelerator pump (the 1980 Z1R *did* have 28mm carbs with accel pumps I believe)
- pilot air screw is on the side of each carb pointing up at an angle for easy adjustment



Well I measured the intake opening (engine side) i.d. of each of the 4 carbs and they all read 28.8mm


28.8mm is way closer to 29mm than it is to 28mm.

The 28's on my 79 1000 measure closer to 29 mm as well.

What's going on here?
