Yes! It's a sweetheartpunisher11b wrote: True. If it's not running below 3k rpm then idle circuit seems likely. However with the initial condition of running rich at idle ( if I'm correctly interpreting the initial post ), you may also want to pay special attention to the choke circuit and determine if it's causing the rich conditions at lower rpms. That's about the only two things I can think of other than needle clip position that would richen the mix at lower rpms. On a side note, super jealous of that bike :laugh:

This is with the clip in position 2...in 3 it ran great great once warm but wouldnt start with the choke and I had to mess with the idle.....something is keeping it from getting enough air..........the air screw I set in to where it was seated and then backed it out a 1 1/4 like the manual said. Every other screw ect is seated firmly.

I would think you should at least be able to go a full turn in each direction.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

OK, set the carb on the bench, install stock jets and go from there.
Yes, could be a leak at the head.
