Chees, but cv carbs are a different story alltogether. On my carbs the throttle directly opens the slides and the needles are operated by the slides, not by vacuum.

i think you may find the kits will still contain more than just jets .
If you search the kits you will get an idea what else they contain.

My kit(different for cv)contained air jet block off caps to completly remove some air jets.
new main jets,slide mod drill bits,needles that were completly different shape and adjustment instructions for mixtures etc with trouble shooting advice.

Not sure what you kit would contain be direct pull but would be worth finding out before you spend money trying to tune yours without the kit.

That does make good sense. I'll see how lucky i get finding a kit for carbs that were never sold in the u.s. Thanks all.

The Kit 3116 is the wrong one for you bike you need E3X18.002

dyna jet jet number do not match mikiuni numbers
and by the way you bike is wearing an 85 fairing with an 87 front guard.

Stock main jets are 97.5 to run with pod filters fit 115 main jets. I have the stock pilots listed as 32.5's. Float levels should be 14.2mm + or -1mm. Stock pilot screw setting .5 of a turn. Replace the emulsion tubes and needles with stock new ones if available (these must be replaced). Replace any missing orings etc, check the manifolds are sealing on the cylinder head and if there are no mechanical problems e.g. incorrect valve timing she should run real well.

Once again thanks for all the useful advice, you guys are great. I will also be replacing all screws with pozi-drive. I suspect I might have to go in a couple of times, and am sick to death of the phillips stripping. Ta.

Get an impact driver. The screws won't strip then
