    Sorry to make this post guys. I didn't pay attention when I pulled the air jets under the diaphragm out. I put them in as my manual dictated, but I've since heard that the manual is wrong?

    Can some explain which one goes where. The main and pilot. Describe however you see fit.

    AIR JETS:

    MAIN air jet is the numerically (and physically) SMALLER hole size, and it goes in the center hole.

    PILOT air jet is the numerically (and physically) LARGER hole size, and it goes in the forward-most (towards the cylinder head) hole.

    Rear-most (towards the air-box) hole is for an air-jet cover plate hold-down SCREW, which may or may not be used on your model carbs (some came with them, others didn't).
