I have been putting off my carb rebuild on my 82 vision cause I have been working on my cb750...now its back to the V!
I am cleaning my carbs and this is the first time that I have done this on this bike. Looking at the yamaha-motor.com exploded view of the carbs I took out the covers(?) for the main jet (#40) and the piolt jet (#61) on the carb body. but nothing was under the screw/hex covers ???
You can look right into the body of the carb...are they deeper in the carb body? Did I miss them?

Don -
Both those jets are fairly deep inside the carbs. Shine a light into the holes & look for a screwdriver slot with a hole in the middle. Those are the jets. If it ran before you tore it apart - even poorly, they have to be in there.
These jets have a tendency to get stuck because of all the years of fuel, storage & heat / cool cycles. You might want to try squirting a little PB Blaster into the holes & letting it work for a while before putting too much pressure on the jets.
Good Luck with the carb cleaning - your efforts will be rewarded!
