    Unless you have a reason to, there's no need to replace the fuel rails or tees. Your O-ring set will include new O-rings for the fuel rails - can't imagine the actual rails go bad too often! If you're leaking from the tee you could consider a replacement but if not then save your cash. I just pointed them out because I had not noticed them before: not because you need them

    Here's where the pilot jet plugs come in (sorry, Z1 is referring to them as "passage plugs" or whatever their proper technical name is):



    You'll see they're right below the pilot jets. The pilot jets are intended to feed fuel out of the main jets, and those plugs ensure that happens.

    My ideal "basic carb clean" kit would include Mr. Barr's O-ring kit, intake boot O-rings, the passage plugs, new float bowl gaskets, and maybe a couple extra idle screw washers ('cos they're so small and easy to lose - ask me how I know).

      [quote]4 Carb Rubber Passage Plugs??
      (are these the pilot jet plugs - doesn't look like it and I searched Z1 for "pilot jet plugs") and came up with nothing.[\quote]
      Legaleli,
      I found them online and at the local shop using carb plugs as my search term just as someone else mentioned to me. Check your local shop's website as they might have the schematics online (mine does). Or you can see my shops website at www.apexsportsinc.com
