It is on TDC mark, checked pistons 1 and 6 and they're in position.

Some pics and info on the float level check.

it's difficult reproduce that carb angle when it's not mounted on engine.

Measured the angle from engine to airbox and I came up with approximately 30 degrees for carb angle....when i put the clear line on carb 1 and 6 the fuel level comes to the top of that screw in your picture. I set all the floats at 15.5mm or as close I could to that, I see a need now for finding the proper float measuring toolç now.

Again, the crank has to be on the F mark, not the T mark to check static timing. However, in your pic, if you rotated the crank back to the F mark the rotor tooth would be even farther off, so any way you look at it it's wrong. If you didn't see it, I edited my post since I did indeed say the first time to use the T mark.

true enough I initially had turned to the F mark but then moved to the T mark for the photo, I dont recall why I moved it to the T but as you say it didnt make much of an improvement.

Update, the Z lives!

Timing adjusted carbs are synced, and breathing nicely. Those Pipemasters sound sooo sweet!

a couple of electrical issues, turning off the key doesn't kill the engine, and adjustments were made for the wiring into TIMs alternator.

I should be riding the Z this week. It's been a very very long time.

Many Many Thanks to all here who helped me on my way!!!!

Yee-Haw! Glad you got it straightened out.

Way to go, wyly.
The reward for your perseverance will be a romp through the gears with the PipeMasters howling.
