I might considering buying a second hand carburettor that might be in better condition. I've seen dual carburettor kits from CR Keihin but they are really expensive ... and even after spending that chunk of money you have to tune them for your specific application.
Either way I have to make sure mine are really clean and all passage ways are clear !
Thanks for your help !

Under the jet pictures on Jets R Us you can click on the one below the dimensions and is blue , it'll take you to a separate page for ordering the different sizes they have available . The stock carbs do work pretty good , when tuned good,every passageway clean, and all seals doing their job .The ones on my hi-comp motor are working great, it's been dead reliable starter since I built it 3 years ago , just can't ride in any mist, drizzle or rain, heck even wet roads that create water mist from the tires and the left one freezes up the tiny air passage feeding the pilot jet and choke , she backfires and shuts down till thawed , unless I hold it at high rpms to run off the main jet . Stock motors don't run into that though .
The couple alternative carb option will improve performance and tune-ability ,however there is one huge drawback to them ,,, almost impossible to hook up the airbox ,unless you don't mind cobbling and crappy sealing intake runners or willing to run pod filters that really are only good for nice sunny dry days and preferably no offroading where junk from the rear tire can hammer them . For me no thanks .
There is however a new option that a guy from UK just made aware of and I have a set that I ran on my hybrid motor and that's the early '00's to '08? Kawasaki Ninja 250. Dual 32mm CVK's that slide right in the XT boots and fit pretty good. Once jetted right they are better than the stock ones and allow clean filtering . I will go that way with any XT I own rather than buying a set of replacement oem's . If you want to the 300Ninja EFI throttle bodies fit right in as well  But needs a Microsquirt injector controller and all the sensors added as well .
