Default I messed up, gotta question

Okay did an engine swap and now bike will not start. Bike sat over winter and I did not put anything in the fuel to keep it from gumming up. So I decide to remove the carb and clean it.

When I took the jets out I threw them all in the same sea foam/gas filled dish and did not separate them by each cylinder. Is there a way I can tell which jet is for the inner cylinders and which jets are for the outter cylinders?

Or do I need to order new jets?

Thanks

the inner to jets (cyl 2 and 3) are the larger jet sizes.

how do you tell them apart? Is it by the length of the jet or the diameter of the holes? Is there a number on them?

And use a magnify glass to try and read the numbers on the jets.

This is what you're looking for. This is one of the main jets. Your's are probably brass and not stainless, but that's ok.

This is the tiny hole you'd see when the slow jet is clean.

Okay thanks, you guys have been very helpful. I cleaned all the gunk of the jets and saw the numbers. There were #135 and #138. I placed the higher two on the inside. Now my fan is not coming on.

Finally had to bring in the ether bunny to get it running. She is running now after two days of trying to get it started. Took the carb apart and cleaned the **** out of them. Bike is at 163 degrees and fan should be on. I checked the fuse and there is power at the fan connector. Now I am checking my ground on the fan.

Yes you are right. I was mistaken about the fan kick in temp. It works fine but I am having a hard time with an exhaust leak on the header. Flange is bent and I have to fix it.
