Before disassembling the carbs, I need some criteria for recognizing the OEM parts.
As I understand, I can recognize the OEM needles because they have no notches for tuning.
Is it correct ?
The main jets should have 98 printed on them.
The pilot jets should have 38 printed on them.
Is it correct ?
Thank you.

You may be chasing a ghost...get the carbs off the bike and apart. The OEM needles will NOT have any notches. Only a carb kit will provide this for your bike.
You are correct on the main/pilot markings...98/38. It will be printed on the side. Jimmy900 knows his stuff, for sure, but untill you get your carbs apart, you do not know what you are working with. Your carbs may not need as much work as you think. Like I said, I had a main jet loose and in the bottom of the #3 carb(late in the troubleshooting), and wouldn't have known it if I did not take them apart. Get them suckers off!
