Uh Oh - lost an air jet while cleaning carbs - Help !

[Guest]

I was going thru the cleaning process with my carbs from a 1982 GS850GL. Some how I lost one of my air jets. I have scoured the garage floor, double checked inside the can of Berryman dip, checked my parts baggies for each carb I was using and I just can't find it. When I searched some of the places that sells jets online it seems the BS32SS carbs air jet is obsolete. The other 3 carbs have 170 size air jets.

I have asked Steve if he has any but if not I was wondering if anyone out there has one of these they can part with.

You would think if I was going to loss something it would have been one of those small springs or washers, these carbs have so many small parts.

http://www.pjmotorsports.com/mikuni-...ilot/slow jets Here is a link to a site that if offering air jets ( you will have to scroll down to find air jets)
But those are apparently for the B42/55 carbs and not the BS32SS, unless they will fit the BS32SS carbs too ?? Does anyone know.

No Sir - they are 175

Thanks I followed those links, and they are describing that as a main jet. That's a bit confusing because there is a main jet as well as the air jet.
