this is the part smethurst is talking about but it is not fitted to the z900 a4. on the a4 its an aluminium part & you cannot see it from the outside you have to remove the top from the carburettor to see it



this is the part & its only fitted to z1/a/b type carburettors

this is the part that does the same job on a 900a4
