Can anyone advise the best way to remove this glass from the metal casing ?
The rubber seal is quite hard after 44 years.
Glass is very thin so easily cracked.

No hole in the base to stop the spindle turning so just a good grip with pointy nose pliers did the job. Next question............. Does anyone know what shade or colour reference the light bl...

Re: BS34 Carbs ?
Thanks Al, So it looks like there are 2 different types and designs of carbs but with the same name / reference (BS34). My 1981 KZ1000 CSR has BS34's without coasting enricher diaphragms, but when I search BS34 on Google it shows images of them with and without them. Its unusual for any manufacturer...

Re: Z1000A1, running super rich?
Have you set your mixtures with a Colortune Plug ?
If not, its well worth buying or borrowing one as its the only way to get them spot on.

Re: BS34 KZ1000 Carbs. Rich
Thanks Warrren,
That is exactly how my 4 plugs look too.
I only use E5 fuel.
Thought I was going mad, but obviously its just the way these carbs / bikes run.
Appreciate your help as ever.
