    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I kinda was sloppy counting my pilot fuel jets and not as bad with the pilot air jets...but then couldn't find where I wrote them anyways:rolleyes: so I set all of them at 1.5 to 1.75 turns out? Prolly like to get those zeroed in exactly.

Proper setting will depend on whether you have stock intake and exhaust.

Assuming that you have stock hardware (have not seen anything to the contrary), the fuel screws (the ones on the bottom), should be about 3/4 to 7/8 turn out, the air screws (the ones on the sides) should be about double that.

Thanks Steve, yea it's all stock. bottom fuel screws are set at like 1.5-1.75:eek: guess I'll try to get those in.:)
 
Reset my fuel pilot screws to 1 turn out, everything seems good except the rpm's is quite slow to descend back to base idle?? I was thinking maybe the sliders aren't returning quickly enough? Cause I did lightly lube their bores but maybe shouldn't have? Throttle grip returns descent, though it doesn't "snap" back...:( Maybe this is how they are...but I think not. any ideas?

Take all the plugs out so your not fighting all the compression from the other cylinders too. Start at number 4 ..so youre on the same side as the crank nut...and look down the plug hole with a flashlight and just roll the crank over with youre wrench and get a feel or whats happening in there and youll figure it out pretty fast...you seem like a sharp guy. and always turn the engine clockwise at the crank.

I had a person helping me yesterday and they cranked it counterclockwise about a 10th of a revolution... how will i know if it did any damage?
 
You can roll it back a little bit..the thing is that the bolt that rund thru there is a righty tighty thread ..so why turn counter clockwise and loosen it up.

where did you get the "T" between carb 2 and 3? I looked on z1e and i only saw one for kz1000's? is that what you used? it was aluminum and came with o-rings. part #ZSM05-1010
Click to expand...

That will fit. The O-rings are a little large though. The ones from Cycle O-rings are better.
 
Im used the Z1 orings with some grease on them..bit snugger than Bobs ..but i liked them just as well. I know for sure Bobs are never a problem because ive done so many with his kits and never one problem. I would lube up the Z1 ones and save Bobs for spares.
