    All it does is keep the screw from turning. Nothing critical. Adjust the spring as close to the correct size as you can...

      ...So - I don't have to order a special tool from Z1 to install a special part from Deland!? Which 30 page section of the manual should I print out!? j/k

      ...Maybe I can save some additional cash by using the pen housing in place of a petcock vacuum line... j/k

      Thanks folks - here all night.

        Okay - so I finally got out and running around, a short jaunt on the highway. She's still not idling perfectly (I'm waiting for tools/ parts from z1 + boulevard suzuki) But I have to come clean - this is the first 4cyl bike I've owned and on the highway 70mph = ~4600rpm in 5th... does that sound about right? She really doesn't feel like she wants to go much faster than that... Am I being too timid with the throttle? Or will the valve/ sync really change the engine that much?

          Both

          It should take off hard if you open it up at 4600

          And it will take off harder after you've finished tuning it
