If the jet needle for an SG (452-14116-16) is 5glz-18 what is the correct number stamped into the needle for a G (360-1416-07-00)?

Service manual says 5IZ7 for a G model, and that's the number that should be stamped on it.

I was

questioning the pilot air jets not the pilots themselves Brant. I got a set of 1980 carbs in last week that had 132.5 mains and brass floats in them. Never seen that before either. No idea what the bike they came off was like but it did have the 5glz-18 jet needles with the clips set at the richest setting. Must have milage like a dump truck.
Had my SF & LH out for a two day run on the weekend and the SF was getting 42 mpg and the LH about 44. I'm pretty happy with those numbers as we were riding fairly aggressively.

Mack,

For U.S. models, the pilot air jets changed to the 185's for the 1980 model year.
