No you don't need to take them off, just angle them away so you dont end up looking up your own arse
and careful you dont scratch your paintwork.

Clymer (end of Chap7) has a list of settings from '73 Z1 thru to '79 Z1000,
They recommend ..all Z1, Z1A & Z1B have float levels set at 24 mm +- lmm.
That's 3.5 mm down from the bottom-most flange of the carb top!
Must admit, I often have needle & seat leaking troubles, even after replacing them.
I always think there is more pressure on the needle to seat, if the levels are set, such that the float will trying to force them together! Am I correct?
