Got my pilot plugs in

[magelord]

So i just got in the mail the pilot plugs for my gs250. There were none for sale anywhere specifically for the 250 but were pretty sure the 450 sized ones will still fit. Attached is a photo of the plug sitting on the carb, and its not gonna fit. The plug seems to large to fit in the pilot hole. Is it supposed to be really tight or are they easy to plug in and out? Also, anyone here taken apart the carbs from a 250 know for sure if it needs the plugs?
Thanks

That is right. The float bowl will push it the rest of the way in.

Put a little lube (fuel or very light oil) on it and see it you can twist it in a bit.

I don't think the 250 uses the plugs. They are not listed on the parts fishe.

That's not where that goes, is it ? Doesn't it go down in the area near the gasket, where it has that circular looking stain on it ?

I've slept since I did my carbs, so I may be wrong.


EDIT: Yeah im wrong. I'll shut up now and leave this to folks that knows what they're talking about

Now that I actually looked at the picture in it's full size I would say that that carb does not use one.
Sorry for the bad advice.
The main jet and pilot jet are the same length so they both pick up fuel from the bowl. On my carbs the fuel is diverted from the main jet through the pilot so the plug is needed to keep the fuel flowing up and also to keep it from picking up fuel.
