It was written using a set of Mikuni BS CV's from a Suzuki but the Kawasaki version BS carbs are very similar.
Take note that the proper way to clean the carbs includes unganging them and fully stripping them down. I've redone a pile of those carbs and every set I've touched had hard and brittle O-rings on the interconnection tubes, and the only way to replace them is by breaking down the carbs first.
I'd advise against purchasing "rebuild kits", instead just purchase the various O-rings and keep all the various original parts. One possible exception is the float needles; if the little spring won't hold up the weight of the float without compression I'd replace the needles.
Also, don't skip the fuel level verification test. This will show if you have sticking float needles. And take close note of how to remove the float pins without busting off one of the float posts.
Good luck

Hope that works, you can see the pilot jet plugs look staked in.
