Or you get these...
I've used them before and never had any problems.

You should have removed the pilot jets to clean them in the first place. They are likely still not completely clean. Installing new, #38 pilots will certainly clean it up, but so will properly cleaning the old ones. There are more threads here on this subject than any other. Do a search and you will find lots of reading material.

Dave,
Is going up to #38 on pilot jets recommended for '82 carbs as well? I just took mine apart to clean after bike sat for some time so now would be good time to upgrade if suggested.
Thanks
Sasha

You can go to 38s if you want. Bike will warm up faster, but gas mileage will suffer.
