They used to be 25s, but now they're an unremoveable bush inside the carb, and apparently the size doesn't matter... ;)

its .014" and you can clean it carfully with a number 78 drill through the air adjuster screw hole.

I recommend you drill out the bush and fit a 30 pilot.
With modern 10% ethanol fuel you need another 5% by volume compared to old fuel so all old jetting tables are now wrong.
And what's the biggest prob with amals ... they run weak pilot circuits very quickly because of wear in the crap alloy !
I know the calcs are marginal, but I'd rather have a slightly rich pilot to aid starting and idling myself !
I'm converting all my fleet to run richer pilot circuits.

Gave mine a bit of a poke out last week, the improvement in the smoothness of the running and tickover has been amazing. Engine runs a lot cooler too it seems,It may have been slightly blocked and running too lean.
