Just bout this 79 Kz1000ltd. It came with the 29mm smooth bore carbs.
My question is on #2 and #4 carb it has a vaccum tube should they have rubber cap? They dont right now.

So the #2 carb was leaking little gas. Happens that the o-ring on the nut needs replacement.
You think I can find some at Ace Hardware or do I need to order from Z1?
Also the mains on it are 132.5 and are plastic....wth

Those are VENTS -- not vacuum -- and should be attached to hoses that exit into open air.

Good Fortune! :)
