This can actually go in the public forum... so, as if by magic...
'Bing!'
It's only specific jetting/setup that I do not allow here (there is a specific area in the Members section for setup), but contrary to that statement, I'm going to ask you what size mains you have!
The tube you are referring to is the feed to the power jet (PWJ). It is common practice to fit PWJ blanks, or to make blanks by soldering up standard ones, but filling the tubes with epoxy is another option. It just makes it much harder to revert to a PWJ setup should you wish to.
The MJ should be somewhere around 185 as a starting point. If your mains are significantly smaller (say, in the 130's), then you run an extremely likely risk of seizure at high RPM.
