Jayel....if you have a smaller one which I am guessing........an exact .011 thousands guitar string will make you a 28.........smooth the burred end and gently chuck the jet in a drill and spin and push the wire in.......

I found a 20 in my stuff.........supprised me that the hole is larger than an .011........not sure how to make it at the moment......will send it along foryou to play with if you want......maybe a .016 thou string or so...could start enlarging this one till it doesn't work ....then you would know..........xsjohn

well the actual jet part is different between the two types of jets I have some of the other type but won't work with this VM carb

Found a 30 in one of my old VM's.......bet that would work fine.....surprisingly the hole is a bit larger than .018 thou on the 30...guess the numbers on the old jets don't refer to MM like the newer BS34 jets do.......an 18 on the BS34 would amount to a 46 pilot....

well I think a 30 might be a bit much but would give me a idea of which way it wants to go, if nessesary I'll just order from mikes, stock up on brushes I guess pretty darn bad when you can't even put together a big enough order to make it worth while, that's what happens when you get a 650 straighten out lol I convert 27.5 to 0.010826771653555 and 30 to 0.01181102362206 yeah if it's the right type I can solder it shut and drill my own, need my address? PM me if you don't still have it

The old jets don't convert like the BS34's do......the 30 like I said is a bit over .018 thou......and the 20 I have is around .015 or so will send them along tomorrow.........along with an .018 wire to bump the 20 to something close to a 27.5-28..........think I still have your address.......
