Each carb has three "jets"...the small pilot one, the large needlle one, and a third one which in my case all four appeared to have no hole through...so they are just blanks...?
mine is 2001.. I assumed these unused jets were "blanks", that might have been used on different model bikes....?
no doubt some foccer will enlighten us :eek

mystery solved...... 8)
Altho 3 of Clive's blanks seem to have holes thru them.....?? :eek
FOR CLARITY can JAMIEG285 confirm that there are only two jets in the carb...the pilot and the needle one...and that the needle jet is the "Main jet"...?
it seems that in some parts diagrams u have a needle jet AND a main jet..the blank???

if i remember top left is a 0.6 which is a blank and has no hole (8 on fowlers)
top right is the starter jet so should be a a long one with holes (just much smaller - number 7 on fowlers)
there is also an air jet at the mouth of the carb but be realy carefull with that one and just used compressed air/carb cleaner and a little bit of wire to clean that one as they often get stuck and take some getting out if it goes wrong (fowlers number 6)
just found pic of my 0.6 jet on torch so here you go

an O ring....the slotted bit has on 1 of the 4 has no centre hole,the other 3 have got a centre hole in the slotted part
this is really puzzling me now :eek

the long piece underneath is just a holder and it holds the jet and allows fuel metering by the tapered needle as it raises
if there is no hole there is no fuel - factory standard is a #115 in the uk,

before, apart from a slight hesitation as I opened her up really quickly in top gear,plus I wanted to get a knackered mixture screw out.
Really appreciate your offer to have a look, I'll post an update next week :sun :sun permitting..
