Do you mean the main air jet's were drilled for a restrictor? Slides drilled? More info.

i cant remember of the top of my head i think it was below the slides, i was wandering if i could use glue or some sort of silicon, or if they was a product for filling speicialy for carbs, maybe i need to pull em out and take some picks as my post is becoming embarasingly vague :oops:

DONT use silicone as it will expand and gum up or block jets, just recently had to change a set of carbs where the float bowls had been put back on with the stuff and the bowls were virtually full of the resutant gooeeyy mess....YUK

I've got a set of slides that someone butchered: The holes were drilled to about 4 mm! They must of realised their error and filled it with epoxy and re-drilled them - not a pretty sight!

...4mm is disgusting
much easier putting lighter springs in to get the same effect...if its wrong you try different springs
