Haynes says VM 26 but googling for VM 26, the tops are different to mine.
Z1000 A1, standard as far as I know.

They’re off a 1000 A1 or A2. There is no pilot air screw. The A2 had 5DL needles.

There are 2 pilot holes in the carb bore. 1 either side of the throttle slide. The pilot screw on these is a by-pass screw. It controls the amount of air/fuel that can flow into the port after the throttle slide. The mixture is controlled by fixed jets. There is no pilot air screw on the side of the carb to adjust the mixture.
