I hope that when you said that the screws are stripped, you meant the Philips heads. There are no jets in that section. All fuel jets are in the float bole. Remove the Idle screws at the rear top and remove the boles. Than clean everything out.Ok i have the carbs off the bike, and the screws to the diafram part are stripped. So how do I get to my pilot jet, and all that crap...i really need to get these carbs worked out...I am missing the summer guys...

I was able to locate some larger Secondary Main Jets than the #85 stock jets (92063-1023). The online source said they should be here about 3 July. I have 90, 92 and 95 coming. These jets are available and cost $8 for a set of four. I only need two, so therefore I will have spares.
The engine will not run off idle without the choke set halfway. It runs fine in that condition.
Two things that may be driving the jetting issue are: 1) E10 is the only pump gas available in Washington. Race gas is available at the bike shop for $10.99 a gallon. 2) I have been unable to get an air filter or filter housing. The filter element is supposed to be here 3 July, but I have not found a filter cap (11012-1103). If someone could help me out here, I would appreciate it.
The decision to drill the jets is based on three facts:
1) the supposedly correct main jet parts are two weeks away, 2) I know the engine is running lean right off idle, and 3) I want to ride for the next two weeks without the choke being set.
The way I figure it, I will need to rejet the carbs when the air filter arrives at the same time as the larger jets, therefore the drilled jets are a temporary measure.
I have seen carb jetting charts like shown below. Where do I get one for the CV32 that came on my KZ305 that has two (primary and secondary) main jets and no throttle slide cutaway as shown in the image? The entire off idle mixture is too lean, therefore I believe I need to increase the size of both main jets about two or three sizes (based on rejetting my snowmobiles for E10.)
Summary:
-Is there a second source for larger Primary Main Jets?
-Does anyone need some #90,92 and 95 main jets? I will have a couple spares of each.
-Does the temporary lack of an air filter cause the engine to run too rich or too lean?
-Who may be able to send me a filter cap?
-How many jet sizes do I need to go up when rejetting a four stroke for E10?
-How much do the primary and secondary main jets affect the mixture at the various throttle positions?
