Overhauling my BS38's on my 77D - the original #25 Pilot Jets are so chewed up that I wont risk re-installing them.
I cant buy new ones from Mikes and 650Direct are out of stock. Searching further you guys mentioned Niche Cycles for genuine Mikuni parts. They have the jets I want but the delivery alone is $70 US$ which is around $100 Aus$.
However, I had the forsight to buy 2 carby rebuild kits some time ago and they have 27.5 Pilot Jets in them.
Are they close enough to use under the circumstances. My bike is stock including air cleaners and exhaust.
I did notice the 27.5's have small holes in the side of the jet whereas my #25 as originally fitted dont have any holes.
My understanding (searching lots of posts) is this wont matter because the air is mixed at the top of the jet and not further down the jet via the angled drilling/passageway found on other BS models.
Could you guys check my understanding and some advice please.
Regards Ray.
