Er no. Positioned as the 87.5 one, in the bottom of the float bowl at an angle.

I may be wrong, but that's where I would expect it to be.

Neil and Joolz,
to get at the secondary main jet, you need to remove the hex headed blanking plug (12mm?) on the n/s of the carb body.
That jet is more like a grub screw and is recessed into its mounting hole, so you will need a long thin screwdriver to undo it.
Tip the carb over towards that side and it will fall out.
( If the carb's mounted on an engine, a few puffs of air from a bicycle pump will usually push it out. Avoid compressors and blow guns, else you'll never see which way the b#gg~r went... )

I think you find the primary main jet, that Ken was talking about, at the bottom of the float bowl directly underneath the jet that you've labelled 'l.F2'. Similar looking to the one marked '87.5'


AH! i did wonder, i've just been out searching for it! So i guess you unscrew the emulision tube to gain access & then in turn unscrew the Main? jet that's underrneath? I've got an old 'Autobooks' manual & that seems far more useful than the book of lies. Pity the exploded diagram is sooo small, or it have been even more of a help.

Joolz,
not wrong, as that's how the secondary petrol jets were on the earlier 21/24 rod operated versions of the 26/35 carbs... :)
