So, are the main jets the long or short ones? '73 750 K3

Just ordered what are supposedly 110 mains form Honda, and got the short stubby ones, I had always thought the longer ones were the mains. Am I just wrong?

Short stubby ones with #40 are the slow jets.

Main jets are VERY short and stubby and screw into the main jet holder (aka Holder Needle Jet), which is about 2" long. Look at the fiche. On my K1 it is PN# 16139-300-004
