Never mind, I looked at the listing, it doesn’t say if there’s a size option, it is it just one size fits all kinda thing

The jets in the listing are the correct size for the specific carbs listed.
Z650 24mm Mikunis and Z900/1000 26mm and 28mm Mikunis .
They go in the air bleed to the needle jet tube which is located in the mouth of the carbs ( not in the float bowl ) and are ONLY to be used when running no airbox with open carbs or pods.

Got ya, I’m looking at getting them cause come hell or high water I’m gonna get my bike to run like it should. Just one step at a time lol

I ordered one of those tubes to check float level, do they need to be on the bike and on center stand or can I do it one the bench, I started to order 4 but didn’t want to spend a 100 bucks at the moment

I check floats on the bench. I have a home made setup to hold the carbs level. Normally I do them one at a time because, as you point out the tool is expensive. Z1E has a smaller dia tool for under 10 bucks but I found it to be useless.

Ok, I had thought bout building something to hold them on the bench as well think that be better than me holding by hand

Made this today to hold them, waiting on the tube to get here hopefully today.

That should work but make sure it's level from front to back and from side to side. I built mine so that the carb throats are at eye level when I synch them.

Here's mine. I use c-clamps and wood shims to level all directions and anchor to the bench.

Hardrock, do you use fuel to set floats. I did and it was a stinky job and my hands smelled like gas for days... What other fluid would work?


Not rying to hijack the thread, Just hopefully get a tip out to us rookies.

I’m gonna keep an eye on the leveling as I go gotta pretty close know, the tube came today so maybe tomorrow I can get it done. But I think the the cross member they sit on are gonna be in the way of the tube on the inside carbs, gotta re think it.

That’s what I had in mind to build but no extra boots to hold the carbs, I thought bout instead of gas using rubbing alcohol with red food coloring but I ain’t sure if it will hurt the orings or not.

I think we need to be aware of the density of the alternate fluid. If not the same as gas it will affect the buoyancy and maybe not allow proper float adjustment.

I have another bank of carbs to do a float adjustment on and sure would like to use something beside gas again.
