Wrong style pilot jets?

[Talonrcn]

After pulling my carbs apart, vm26ss carbs on my 79 gs1000l, I noticed that the pilot jets look nothing like the pilot jets on any website when ordering. Sudco shows the pilot jets I have fitting rs/hs series carbs, not vm. The pilot jets I have match the jets in the VM Rebuild guide on BikeCliffs site. Jets R Us shows different style pilot jets for 77-79 gs1000 bikes as well. Does anyone know what the pilot jets should look like? This is the link showing the "proper" style of pilot jet, or is this wrong? I have no need to replace them, just wondering if they are the incorrect style if possible.

EDIT: jets r us shows the pilot jets I have now as vm28/486 style jets, but these jets do match the jets shown in the VM Rebuild guide.

Are they more like these?

Yes...perfect match to what I have now, which also matches the VM Rebuild guide. Just noticed that jets r us, sudco, etc. all show these as the correct pilot jets

These rebuild kits from z1 state they EXCLUDE L models, and based on the pic, the pilot jet looks different from what I have as well.

These are what sit in VM28s fitted to UK bikes:

That is what I have, and I did notice in my wiring some UK only wiring colors. What is the best way to determine if these carbs are VM28 instead of VM26? Could this be a UK bike in the US?

Measure the internal bore of the carb on the head side. VM28s measure 28.9mm or thereabouts.

Will do, the po may have swapped out a set from a uk bike, or aquired a set from one, anything is possible over 33 years I suppose. Thank you much.

That's a common problem - wrong picture and bad data

You'll notice that the correct ones that Allojohn shows are listed as 77-83. Nope! 76-79, 80's are different
