Can please anyone tell me if I ordered the correct jetting for my vm26 carb when the jetting bags I received say VM28?

For my VM26 carb, I ordered jets that are labeled on the packs as "VM28/486. When I ordered them I was not aware of this discrepancy as I am new to this carb (26, 28, 30mm etc) and ordered without much thought. But I am now wondering if the jets which say "VM28" on their packaging, are actually intended for my VM26 carb.

Sigh... I am such a newbie that its killing me! Thanks!
No, that is a good question, without an obvious answer. These jets work in a whole family of Mikuni carburetors. When you have a much smaller, or much larger carb, they are either too big or too small....ARH
