This'll be where the carbs are chnging from pilot jet onto main jet. Mine did it on my ZX9 engine. I had to get a Dynojet kit and replace the
main jet with a slightly bigger size and as you said, I had to alter the needle setting.

My CVK carbs have had the air bleed hole blocked to stop that, its the one on the filter side which is in line with the needle jet.

Too start with what engine are you using? if its a pinto have a search under my name [ Jacko] there is a lot of info in the search section
Ie what size main jets how high is the needles
what model zx9 carbs are they
you may need the air hole blocked in line with the main needles

Hi if there C model check what size jets you have mine had two different sizes
at a guess you will need about 1.6mm jets for a 1.8 l engine [ drill them by hand put the drill bit in a vice and twist the jet ]
+ you may need washers under the needle head

Mate, Before you go any furthur seal the vacuum chambers on the top with rubber grease.. Mine was exactly the same and this will give you these
symptoms. Try that before you play with the needles etc.
If theyr zx9r c they should have 155 main jets in?? Which arnt far away from what u want.
Bogg brothers will tell you zx9r carbs will run a zetec near enough straight off the bike.

by sealing the vac chamber do you mean around the top where the diaphragm sits in the top of the carb?
