Air jets are sometimes called pilot jets. Make sure you get non bleeder type pilot jets.

No air jets are not pilots jets... if you look the back of the crab... the end that goes into the air filter there are 2 brass things... those let in air to propel the fuel air mix from lower in the bowl ... sorta like a paint sprayer. The jetting we are talking about is based on the stock air jets... change the air jets and the formula may not be the same any more. I have has one carb where those were chewed up... I guess you can replace them and still get a nice running bike but for our rejetting purposes those are stock, and work just fine.
Cool.

You need 2 of each.  1 main and pilot for each carburetor plus if you're using 2 washers to shim the carb needle then you will need a total of 4.

Clear?
