Help with carb identification

I have search and read a few posts but can't seem to verify what carb I have on my 1978 KZ1000 A2A. Without removing I can't see and numbers. My petcock has res-pri-on, no off position. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

no on position -- suspecting this was intended to say "no off position."

Stock carbs are Mikuni VM26SS, which are sometimes referred to as 26mm manual slide.

The stock 26mm manual slide Mikuni would probably have either a side-located pilot circuit air adjustment screw or a pilot circuit mixture adjustment screw located on the underside of the carb closest to the engine.

Good Fortune! :)
