    Hello

    I have a 82 xj1100 and it has the CB 34 carbs. I noted that the carbs do not have pilot jet plugs installed. I think that they belong on this model and have new ones but would like a confirmation before I install them and find out later that it was a bad idea. You know the rubber plug buy the needle valve.

    Thanks for your time

    No, your carbs (if original) do NOT use those plugs!!

    You don't need Anti-Tuning Plugs places in the Pilot Jet Access Hole.

    I realize you have some Plugs and might not be tthe type of person who can throw them away.

    If you need to do something with them, ... put a dab of glue on them and affix them onto a Foot Peg ... on the underside, where they won't show.

    When you gather with other Bikers and they boast of having some accessories, ... you can "One-Up Them."

    Tell them your Bike was Dynamically Air Tunnel Profiled and Balanced on an Atomic Scale, ... so accurate that they had to wait for your Bike to dry after being washed and rinsed with twice distilled water, ... and you could see the readout indicating where the weights needed to be applied as the water evaporated until the Robot attached several pieces of Spent Nuclear Fuel to the bottom of your Foot Peg.

    Insist ... that YOU can FEEL the difference.

    And NASA can help you find the Bike if stolen.

    Thanks for the info

    I think I will use them in the mixture adjustment holes. Just to make them useful. LOL
