Inspected the parts bike carburetor

Since it was sitting in a box, I figured it would be wise to do a quick inspection of the carb before installing it.  It looked pretty clean and correct, except for the brass pipe that extends from the bowl into the choke - side of the throat.  I believe there is a tiny hole at the tip, which was clogged.  Also, the pilot air screw was MIA along with a couple of o rings and a spring for the accelerator pump.  I found the pilot screw on ebay using the Kawasaki p/n, and the accelerator pump circuit will most likely get bypassed when we re-jet.
I just realized that this is the jet for the accelerator pump, so this clog is irrelevant if we bypass it!
Checking the float height; about 21mm with a slight push down
