How long does the engine need to run at specific throttle inputs before you can read the sparkplugs correctly?
Bonus question:
The Mikuni BS34's (KZ700-A1, KZ750-L3, etc.) mixture screws are adjusting fuel, not air right? In is leaner, out richer?

After warm up, 1/4, 1/2, 34/ throttle under load. Kill the engine, coast to a stop.
In is lean/out is rich.

But for how long to get enough colour on the plugs? I've only done it way back when and read that it takes longer with modern petrol?
