Restoring a '99 XP. The carbs were previously rebuilt by last owner with new lines, but never run, so I cannot say how it was originally set up. Rebuild was done a few years ago without Mikuni parts and the needle valves don't hold pressure, so doing it again before assembling ski.
When I rebuilt carbs for my '98, I learned all about the hidden recharge jet which was present in the line from the accelerator pump. I reinstalled it.
On the '99, the jet is not there (again, it was previously rebuilt, could have easily been discarded). However, I have read that it may not have come on the '99s. Parts diagrams don't show it, but also most of the '98 diagrams didn't show it either. The '99 does have a different accelerator pump than the '98s also (may have eliminated the need for it?).
Trying to determine if I need to source one of these jets and install it in the line. Input?
