Two carb questions for '81 KZ1000 CSR

#2: Have MAC 4-into-1 exhaust (very blued), K&N 2-into-1 pods, and stock jets. Just bought the bike, have not touched the jets or pulled the spark plugs yet, but it's very likely running lean. Suggestions for jets?
Thanks in advance!

I assume you're referring to the Dynojet Stage 3 kit? www.dynojet.com/pdf/2301.pdf

Any of them can cause this. They are not always so easy to find as you may think. If the carb holders are stiff or cracked, they are probably toast.
Definitely check the timing advancer for easy movement. Don't need any fuel for that.

A better way is to fine mist spray either water or 70/30 water and isopropyl alcohol - the engine will stumble if you spray water at the leak.
But 75% of the time it is the manifolds...
