Hey all . Finished with the overhaul of the 1971 CB500 four. Came out beautiful. I got the carbs almost where I want them but may need to up the pilot jet a size. I have searched all over for the pilot jet but no luck. I have found a few sources for the pilot that is suppose to be in the carb but the length is about a mm or 2 too long. I talked to the guy who sells it and he is baffled as well. We took our digital calipers to the length and sure enough the length on the ones that are available are 1-2 mm too long. He also said that hes known guys who have dremmeled off to the correct length and got fine results. Has anyone had any experience with this? Or know a good source to buy Keihen jets?? Any help would be awesome. Also where should I post pics of the new build? Thanks guys and gals

you could also try Sirius in Canada they do lots of carb parts not available elsewhere, i have used them and found them very good
