In the process of cleaning the carb on my recently acquired 95 FXDL I've just got new jets for it (45/180) but noticed that the main jet I bought (stock CV jet) is too big for the main jet holder.
It had a 170/40 in there which I'd assumed was Keihin jets but now having realised the Keihin one I bought is too big, I guess there's a Dynojet kit in there.
I understand a 170DJ is the same as a 190 Keihin, so regarding pilot jet, what's a DJ40 equivalent to? Should I put the DJ40 back in or am I good with a 45 Keihin pilot and 170DJ main?
Bike has a Moon air cleaner, SE mufflers (with baffles) and a EV27 cam.

That thing is called the "emulsion tube".

Could be. Pics would verify.
You can get a replacement emulsion tube (compatible with Keihin jets) from CV Performance.
