08 America STOCK pilot jet size?

What is the stock pilot jet size on the America? I thought I read that it was a 42, but while putting BUBS pipes on my dads America, noticed that they sent me a pr of 42 pilots and 135 mains...I put the mains in, but didnt mess with the pilot jets, is stock 40?? Wonder if I need to go with the 42s...thanks guys, as always, you're all great on here!

I'm not sure about the America, but the Bonnie stock pilot is a 40.

I suggest you pull the pilots out, they should be marked, but I am certain stock pilots are 40 based on others postings.
