Briefly... be careful. The mixture screws are delicate with soft point eagerly anxious to break off- see item marked "pilot fuel screw" in stolen pic.With bike OFF, Get a good fitting screwdriver, SLOWLY screw each screw in till it bottoms out, counting the turns, it should be like 2 to 2 and a half turns till you feel it bottom out. After you determine/check this, back all screws out about the same - 2 to 2 and a half turns out.
Now wait for someone to give you link to what you do next!

Edit; of course, unless you remove and inspect the screws, you won't be sure that someone has not damaged them! beware little parts!

This from Ninja site - similar carb design- basic advice to point you in right direction. (I don't want you to be sitting idle in "little tiny mature people town")




Once the screws are exposed, turn them all the way in (gently - not too tight!) then back them out 2 1/2 turns each. This is the basic setting. It can be further modified after you put the carbs back on the bike. (With a Muzzy/pod filters setup the screws will be opened a little more.)
So, put the carbs back on the bike; go for a ride. Come home with a warm engine. Park and leave it idling. Put on a jersey glove or something to protect your hand from the heat. Use a small screwdriver to turn in each screw until the cylinder for the screw being adjusted starts to miss, then turn it back out 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
Alternate method: Set the screws out to 2 turns, then back them out 1/4 turn at a time while blipping the throttle. If it hangs at all, it's too lean. Turn the screw out, which richens the mixture. If it drops below idle when returning, it's too rich. Turn the screw in, which leans out the mixture

This MIGHT be the right one- but I know nothing about them! wait for others to point you in right direction. But you still need clean, unclogged low speed circuits in all carbs.

1980 gs1000e,,,, still ruddy trouble ,,,bugger!!!!!

hi guys ,,, thanks for your help,,, well yesterday i thought i almost had it in the morning i dropped my needle from the last bottom clip position to the third from the bottom ,, carbys ar nice and clean ,,they have now cleaned twice ,,i adjusted the mixture screws to 2 turns so they were all the same ,,and it started first off nicely ,, let it warm up them reved it straight up went nicely ,, then let it die slightly to 3500-4000 about then quickly reved it again and again ,,,it still fluttered ,,i let it go back to idle and wait a few seconds the a clean rev up and up he went ,,, ,,,i,m only 1 clip groove off being back to standard ,,, its nearly in the middle i thought i may try making it leaner on the mixture screws take the screws back to standard 2-2/2 turn and a tad more and see how he goes ,,,,,,, i have also notice that at Z1 in my year gs1000e ,,, in the main jet sizes there are about 4 different sizes so maybe i,m getting tooooo much overhang from my big 117 mains jets i put in and the needle.. i may try and get 2 lots of needles 112/114 something like these whatever they are exactly at z1 in usa ... regards oldgrumpy
