ok, just pulled my pilot jets to replace them with the board approved size of #40   only problem is I look at the ones I got, and they say 42.5 on the side. (bagged wrong or something, the label on the bag they came in said 40)

my question is, has anyone ever tried this size? and what could I expect from the carbs if I give it a shot? I'll be running the  K&N ru-2790 and a yoshi full exhaust.
Can I offset the larger pilot size in any way, as in turns in the mixture or different amount of washers on the needle?

Nobody locally has any of these in stock, so I'm down for a few days if these shouldn't be tried.

I have run those ...and runs like sheite  ... startup's are horrible ... it will hold idle cold just fine wiht no choke, it warms up and will want to die, and taking off from a standing start ... pathetic ... Nothing under 4K and it wants to stall ... Bad bad ...WTF ... they giving you the wrong jets over the counter ... thank god these jokers aren't in pharmacies giving out medications ... or well maybe they are ...  :x  :x  :x
