The jet is a standard size for the carb, it's only the needle you need to change to give the correct fuelling. AAC is the stock 998 needle iirc.

Ben, if your engine is standard then use the factory recommended standard needle for your year and model.

 

As Turbo Phil says, the jet is a standard size, the needles are changed to meet the engine's fuelling requirements.

 

For the HIF38 the main jet is 90 thou size.

For a 998 with stage one kit(HS4 carb) I use AAU needle but would be a good start point with a HIF 38
