1984 virago 700 pilot jet help

I have a 84 virago 700 that wont run on the front cylinder unless the choke is on, I know enough to know its a clogged pilot jet but when I pull the carbs down to clean them there is no pilot jet just a couple of tubes down into the float bowls. I have cleaned the tubes but still cant get it the run on that cylinder unless I have the choke on. Am I missing something on the pilot circuit? this bike has the hitachi carbs. Thanks in advance.
