2 semi related jet questions:
1. how do you tell the size of each jet? mine are unmarked.
2. what sits above the needle jet? there is a small washer/spacer and the needle jet itself but what does the needle jet screw into? i think i lost a part while cleaning :/

as far as jet selection, what exhaust and air filter are you using?

I was just trying to pad my post count by making a tongue and cheek kind of comment.
I didn't mean to come off sounding like a jerk, sorry if I did.

No sweat, I often read tones that are not typed into the message. I was probably a bit sensitive too because I had been looking through the UK EBay site at RE accessories directly from India. So you kinda busted me. The prices look good, but "he who buys based on price buys twice" I have had much better experience with CMW and I trust their product vetting.

Back to the jets, I would consider the kit they sell.

Chris,
If you weren't so old you wouldn't need a magnifying glass to read those numbers. The young guys in our shop do it all the time. ( just to piss me off I think, I haven't been able to read them for years).

Those kids will get their day :)

that's my plan. It'll take a couple of years to happen but I think it'll be proven by then.
