Normal Pilot Jet?

[TopherBarnett]

I'm tearing into my VM22 carbs to do the full cleaning treatment and my pilot jet hole has two different pieces in it. The 'jet' looking part has the number 50 on it and the 'bleeder' looking part (with the side holes) has no numbers. The 'bleeder' piece looks like the jets that I can purchase at various sites on the interweb...is the 'jet' screw piece even supposed to be there?



Neither look like the pilot jet piece in the VM carb rebuild manual on this site, but I figure that's because it's for a bigger carb.

Also, does anyone know, off the top of their head, the stock jet sizes for this bike?

Thanks!

The smaller jet on top should be the main jet. Look on Basscliff's site and there should be a list of all the jets in each bike. terrylee

That looks like the main jet and needle tube. You should hunt down an exploded diagram for the VM22.

I have the same carbs. I believe the number for the part you are referring to is 15. I had mine open last week. It also matches what is on the carb chart for the VM22ss

Both bits are meant to be there. The short fat jet is a 50 and the long thin one is a 15. VM22s are different to the 26s / 28s etc - they are the only carbs with this in line pilot jet system
