Can you measure the throat inside diameter in mm on the exit side?

Those look like stock Mikuni's. I'm not sure what size though. 28's maybe.

Thanks so much. New the site everyone seems nice. Hope the stock carbs can handle the bore/stroke. Not sure how big the jets are.

The jets should have a number stamped on them as well. Then you'll know exactly what size jet you're starting with.
