    So, I am taking the carbs apart to clean them. This is what I've found:

    1) The main jets are for a 1994 California (125 & 128)
    2) The slow jet is for a 1994 California (or 49 State & Canada) (40)
    3) The float is set for 1993 (9.0mm or 0.35in)
    4) The pilot screw is set for a 1992-1993 California (2 turns out)
    5) The serial # on the carbs is VDJJA which is for a 1993
    6) The vin # on the bike is for a 1993

    So, money is a little tight nowadays, so my new plan is to keep the jets as a 1994. I plan on making all the other settings for a 1994 including the floats and pilot screws. Let me know if this is a solid plan. I'm pretty sure that the 1994 carbs with settings will work with the 1993 engine. If not, it'll probably run a little rich. Also, I was looking in the manuals and they say that the main jets are (for 1994 California Models) 128's in front and 125's rear. What I found when I opened up the carbs is 125's in #1 & #2 and 128's in #3 and #4. 1 and 2 are on the left and 3 and 4 are on the right. Shouldn't they be set up with #2 and #4 (front) at 128's and #1 and #3 (rear) at 125's? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Adam
