Replies appreciated.
These were purportedly new and OMC NOS. I wouldn’t dream of drilling a jet, myself. Like I say, I even sprang for the jet tool, and actually waited.

Each one feeds a carb throat, so the fuel goes in the same direction for both.

They were shiny, and appeared new, with smooth orifices. I looked at the numbers, and quit there. Won’t do that again.
My shadetree guess is this was a manufacturing error, but I don’t claim to know much. If someone drilled ’em, they did good work, with a pretty little chamfer. Since I’m making stuff up, I’ll guess the larger of the two is correct. It looks a lot closer to 1/16″ to me. That big ‘ol V4 is thirsty.

The fact that the stamped numbers are in a different script is interesting.
I won’t complain about the lost time. Maybe.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent.
Peace.
