My new to me 2005 Venture had been sitting for a few months before I bought it and no suprise two of the pilots were blocked, cold headers after start up, I used some Seafoam at 50% mix but it was a long shot and did not clear the pilots. After reading Freebirds guide to carb removal and buying some 17.5 pilot jets I set to work, it was not as bad as I thought and took me about an hour to pull the carbs fit the 17.5 pilots and put it all back together. I set the pms to 2.5 turns out. She started right up with a little choke and did not need more than a minute to warm on choke, then I went for a test ride, ooooh nice and smooth at low revs, next task will be to balance the carbs but that can wait until next weekend.

What is the advantage to changing to the 17.5 pilots?

Re jetting carbs. In the tech libary the main jets in carb 1 & 2 are different in 3 & 4. The pilot jets it just says to go from jetr 15 to 17.5. The question is are all the pilot jets in the carbs stock with #15 jets or they different, too.
