    I went to my local Yamaha dealer today and browsed through their mikuni jets, I found the correct size and numbers for the main fuel jet, but the pilot fuel jet was a different story.

    The outer dimensions was the same but the hole in the pilot jet was 2 times the size of the one I had in the carbs (comparing the same numbers) and their pilot jets also had holes on the side of the jet body.

    I'm utterly confused!

    When you look at Jets, ... bring a Magnifying Glass.

    The Size of the Jet is "Engraved or Laser Etched" right on the Top of Main Jets and on the Barrel of Pilot Jets.
