Hey all, I'm looking to up my pilots from a #20 to a #22.5.  I'm having trouble finding the ones for my year-range ('04-'09) on Canadian-model carbs.  Which pilot does it use?  Are they the same as a VM pilot?  What exactly is the model of carb I'm sporting?

Any help is appreciated.  I'm in the final stages of what became a big project.

For context:

I have an aftermarket M4 exhaust, pretty free-flowing.  135 main, mix screw 3 turns out, fresh carb boots, stock air box.  I just rebuilt the head (and had it professionally machined) to cure a burnt ex valve.  Pops on deceleration, so I believe it's a lean pilot causing that, correct me if I'm wrong.

its on the wiki, if it pops try with needle shims for the main jet first, you should change pilot jet if you are 3 turns out or more.
20 should be enough.

I have 2 needle shims in there and 3 turns out :/

Which post is for the '04-'09 carbs?  The stickied one is '89-'00, I think.

when it pops, at which rpm?
popping with throttle closed? at medium rpm i believe that even with closed throttle the vacccum is enough to raise the needle, the slides should be getting up, you can also tune mid jet

Throttle closed at most RPMs.  I'm not sure about the mid jet, but I'll research if need be.
