I cleaned my carbs earlier this season, after they were reassembled I discovered that one cylinder used a larger main. Since I had them all out at the same time, I was sure that I had the larger of the three jets in the wrong carb.

I thought that I had read somewhere that the larger jet goes in the cylinder closes to the exhaust, so I had it apart this weekend and moved the larger jet to that carb (it was in the center and I think that it was 150.1 but it was really hard to see). Is that where it should be, or do I have to tear it apart again?
 
It's an 01 srx 700, and has 2 148.8's and 1 150.1. Judging from the previous post, I have the larger jet in the right carb.
 
I am sure that this is a stupid question, but what does pto stand for?
 
larger main goes in the #1 cylinder carb which is on the clutch side. sitting on the machine it would be the carb to the left. that's the way both my SRX's are jetted( 1998 and 2001)
 
'98 and '99 srx 700's have mag side jetted richer (side closest to exhaust)

'00-'02 srx 700's have the pto (clutch side) cylinder richer.

put the 150 main in the pto cylinder and the 148.8 in center and mag, if an '01 srx.

i haven't gone over my 98 yet since i will not be using it this year, it's been a while since i looked at the #'s on the mains. i ususally just clean them and put them back in the carb it came out of. thanks for clearing that up Mopar.
