It's to do with the heat build up in the two inner cylinders Dave. It's fine so don't worry. :thumbsup:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

hotter cylinder means less dense air, so you need less fuel hence the smaller jet, some manufacturers tried putting larger jets in the middle to draw heat from the cylinders through evaporating more fuel...does even out the heat to some degree but messes with the fuelling and feel of the engine.
