hi guys ,looking for some help adjusting slides on my kz900 (26mm).i was using a piece of cooper wire approx 1.5 mm under the slides as a gauge but i,m unsure of the correct procedure with the lock nut and screw and the second nut next to it,cos the slide gap keeps changing when i do the next carb.i know i,ll be kicking my self it,s probably that easy :!: my haynes manual doesn,t cover these carbs (3 screws on cover).
any help much appreciated guys

you really only want to use the wire trick as a starter to get them approx right. You really need to use vacuum gauges or similar to balance them properly.

I've got a Morgan Carbtune (made in NI) and its a doddle to use.
