The pilot jet you show is significantly shorter than the pilot jet used in the CV34 and won't work. The main jets are correct.

I don't think you will find them. I have never seen them on a Keihin pilot (slow) jet list and don't even know their Keihin part number. If you bump up the main jet size to a 68 or 70 it will do nicely compensating. 140 secondary mains will be about right.

I think that it has already been mentioned you will need to change the pilot jets. I would try about a 140 main and 47.5 pilot jets to start. I have another way of rejetting the 750 BS38s so I don't know what jets will be needed nor does anyone else as there have never been a really good source of main jets. Buy a bunch of jets and experiment as shipping will be more than the jets I suspect. The pilot jets are available at z1enterprises.com and are type Mikuni BS30/96 and will be cheaper to buy here in the states.

Have you looked at your main jets? The jet pictured in the 2nd link is NOT a main jet in the sense that you need. It is a secondary main jet and won't work. Your "main" jet is a barrel shaped affair. They are a bit difficult to find.

HI, I have the same bike and went through the same thing that you are right now, these jets are hard to find but i ordered mine from SUDCO, about $30 including shipping for four of them. I will try to link the page but have never done it before.

www.sudco.com/keihinjets.html

2nd to last jet on the bottom of the page, 8.5 mm, slow air jet
