Attempting to buy carb jets... what did I do wrong?

[jamesfacts]

I'm in the middle of cleaning a pair of keihin carbs pulled off my '74 cl360. Two of the jets looked like they were less than perfectly clean, so I decided ordering a new pair would be wise.

A buddy informed me these were #35 pilot jets. I ordered a replacement off ebay and they look to be about twice as large. Is there something I'm missing here? Faulty seller perhaps?

They are probably for a different model Keihin. Did the listing say what carb they were for? I find your best bet with jets is to get them from the dealer if possible. Jets for your carb should still be available:

Yup, that was definitely my issue. i didn't realize different model carbs used the same number jets. Thanks very much for the link!
