Fresh Start Pilot Jet Size

Today 16:38 - Today 18:32

My ZN1100, 1170 engine with fresh top-end (and carbs) is about ready to fire up.

Should I bump up the Pilot Jet size from 20 to 22.5 for the initial start and short run period while the bike is temporarily parked on my porch next week?

Open to suggestions...

I'd start where you have it. It might be a little rich with higher compression and no oil burning.

Feels like I'm starting over from scratch, and fortunately can't remember anything I forgot.
