Can't recall off the top of my head but yes, some of the jets are not "through". I'll try and check that one for you later if I get a chance.
You know not to try and remove the "jet" immediately next to the brass standpipe, the one that has the 2" brass needle in it? If not, don't attempt to remove. It's not a jet per se. It's the tube running down into the secondary throat that squirts the accelerator pump fuel.

Yes, the PPJ is blanked off part way down.

Welcome Ray. Lots of experience and info on this site. Once you understand some of the fundamentals on how and what thing do they becomes easier to maintain and the enjoyment of riding becomes a pleasure not “I hope it will get there and back” Once the snows gone . Best Roger
