Mikuni VM24SS or 22SS - How Do I Tell Which??

Hi Folks

Sorry for a basic question but I've got my Z650 carbs off and I need to know which type I have cos the air screw setting is different.

Most early 650s had VM24SS (the manuals only mention this type) but my bike is a USA model and some of these came with VM22SS carbs instead.

Is there any marking on the carb body I should look for.... or does the 24 or 22 refer to something I can measure with calipers. If it's bore size does it measure on the air box side or engine side (or are they equal).

Thanks in advance from Mark
