    Hi. I am trying to put back together my carbs and I am trying to figure this post next to or alongside the main jet whether it is a plug or if it is a pilot jet.

    I took my bike to the shop but the shop run out of business and I got back the bike in pieces. So I have no idea what was there before.

    Thanks

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The shorter "empty post" in front of the main jet post is for the pilot fuel jet.

    Man, that really sucks to have a place crap out on you like that. Reminds me of when we got ripped off by like 3 grand for a roof job when the company went bankrupt and disbanded.
