the slow jets are clogged.
FYI - 0 to 1/4 throttle position is controlled by the pilot jet located on the top side of the carbs closest to the engine intake boots...from what you're experiencing I'd do the following to rectify it...
Remove the tank and remove the pilot air screws (make sure prior to removing them you - turn them in until they lightly seat...record how many turns in they are) Spray some wd40 into the holes and let it sit overnight. Buy some compressed air "compressed gas duster" from a computer store with a small red hose attachment. Blast the air into the air screw passage ways, then buy a bottle of "super concentrated" carb cleaner and pour it in the gas...run the bike and your problem maybe fixed.
Doing this fixed up my KZ750 which had the same problem.
failing that I'd recommend pulling and cleaning the carbs...
Good luck!
Dave

If your going that route, I'd try something stronger than WD. Maybe some Berrymans Chemtool, or other Carb cleaning product. But there is no Substitute for going through them properly.bromz wrote: I have been running seafoam and lucas on and off all summer. Guess i will try pulling the pilots screws soaking the holes with wd over night and if that doesnt work i will have to pull them and go thru them
Also have you tested for Vacuum leaks? If you have any it will effect your low speed running, and Idle.
