Secondary carb main jet

1989 XT600
I need secondary carb main jet. I think its a #130. Seems this was stock for US version non california.
I have a makeshift fix with over torqued jet and would like to fix correctly.
I have found a #120 for XT 350, seems this would fit but could someone please confirm.
Also what drill size would I need to open it up?
If I purchased a jet kit (sigma/dyna) would it come with this jet?
I have looked hard for this and it seems very rare at this point.
Thanks
Greg

All of my sources show that jet is "obsolete". I am picking up 2 XT's tomorrow and may get an extra carb set-up. I may be able to get that jet for you. Depends on the condition of either bike . Both supposedly run but one is apart and I am putting a totally different engine and carb setup in them.

1,30mm drill should equal a 130 stock jet.

They are hard to come by, with my 2 parts bike XT's I just bought only one had the carbs and they are the later version so I didn't end up with any extras yet. I have a deal worked out for 2 more '84's and a partial '83 TT , there is supposed to be 2 carb setups, so I may end up with the right ones, but I don't know when I will be picking them up.

Thanks
Since this bike is giving me trouble (other post) I will stick to my makeshift repair as of now since it works.
If i can sort this bike out then I'll have a friend buy from Kedo. Looks like it will cost me about $30 USD for the jet
With the little i have run this bike it has just enough potential to keep me going at it but my patience is in view.
