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.

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.
