These were worn to hell, and the slides were not much better but they measured OK. They were rough and white in color from guide material getting into it.
So, run clean filters and make sure you dont have air entering without the filter.
Imagine what it will do to the motor. Parts of carbs are easily replaced.
Cool.

cool! Thanks for taking the time to post some pics 

BTW I measured and fitted the worn out spacer side with an extra #4 - measured to be perfectly equal to the other side ... but the bike ran like sheite till he removed that washer ... then it ran great ...  ... like the whole universe is conspiring against me ...
Cool.

Its still running strong also buddha. Put 100 miles on her yesterday and no problems at all.. When i put the washer back on it sucked again so idk what the deal is but it works good now.
