Project My project MC22

No need to apologize, I appreciate your help!

 

size 35 (left) vs size 35S (right)

The old carbs (with seized pilot screw + clogged pilot circuit) had 35S slow jets.

cleaned and swapped them over... bike runs perfectly, needs 1/8 turn out on the pilot screws I think, it's a little lean at idle.

This is (hopefully) the end of this thread. Thanks to everyone for all their help and patience.
...now I polish the fairings

 

Short story long;
I bought a set of MC22 carbs from a wrecker, but #3 carb on this set had a clogged pilot circuit and I couldn't get it clean.
then, I bought a set of 'MC19' carbs from a wrecker (These were actually mc22 carbs (VP20A) that were on an MC19 bike) so I bought an MC19 carb kit (I ordered the kit before I'd received the carbs) from Xcite and was gonna jerry-rig something together (Silly, I know, but I was desperate. No one in NZ had 'working' MC22 carbs, only MC19.)

I used the pilot screw o-rings from the kits but nothing else and reassembled the carbs. This is where my issues started.
Decided to swap all the brass bits from the carb set I knew worked (with the seized pilot screw + clogged circuit) and saw the huge difference in slow jet size. I then compared them to the slow jets in the kit I bought and they were the same, so I used the brand new slow jets from the kit.
I should have clarified that ^^ when I said 'swapped them over', didn't want to drown you lot in a wall of text haha.
Happy to report that the kit I bought from Xcite has correct jet sizes

If you scroll back, you'll see a post where I said I put working carbs on and the issue persisted (firing on 3 cylinders), (this is because the second set of carbs I bought *also* had a clogged #3 carb pilot circuit.) The seller sold the carbs as known working condition to me.

Naivety, impatience, and a whole lot of bad luck has made this project much harder and frustrating than it needed to be.
