Title: Pilot jet questions
Post by PhantomII on 08/08/13 at 11:10:53

Why do some pilot jets have little holes on the side and some don't?  What do the little holes do?

Brass mites... ;D...

The holes don't matter... they work the same in our carb...

For the stock carb on the S40/LS650 the holes don't do anything.  A #50 with holes works just like a #50 without holes.  

For carbs like the Mikuni VM36 the holes allow air to enter and change the idle fuel/air mix.  When you turn the idle air screw on the VM36 it controls how much air can enter these bleed holes.

Thanks for the clarification
