And yet I thought a plug that looked like that was too lean?

Great work Puffs,
Your koso carb is the same as the OKO I bought, they are all Kehin clones.
I bought the made in Taiwan model as they are meant to be the best of the clones. (http://www.mid-atlantictrials.com/Sales.html)
Good web site with lots of helpful set up info.
I fitted two of those OKO carbs on a T140 I have and they are fantastic, easy to tune and very cheap for the hex jets, also a nice light throttle, the small size helps a lot.
I expect the same results as you when I fit the OKO but the ability to be able to tune the carb with the huge variety of jets could make it a better carb to live with.
My OKO is a 30mm, I chose that as I am not intetested in a higher top speed and lesser dia could help the bottom end a bit more..I think.
I will have to buy another inlet manifold to modify.
Regards

When I had the 30 mm OKO version, i too found the power jet not making a whole lot of difference.
I think MZ are just too low revving to take advantage of that. In fact I almost never find myself going over 3/4 throttle, even at harder accelerations.
I've also seen people installing 28 mm carbs on 250 MZs. And they seem to be plenty. While offering better low end performance due to the intake resonace shifting lower in the revs. I assume the increased velocity might help tuning as well.
Although, I'm very happy with my current version of the 30 mm (ZSDTRP).
