(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) well gang just reciently there have been some posts about carburator jets, air correction jets,jet carrier, and their location, and how to read them. My question is this. For those who have measured /verified /checked the accuracy of Jets, (both air and mains) who would you recommend , and who would you purchase them from?. I ask the question because some "new" jets I have collected are a little off. examples, 120,s were 130,s, 125,s were 135,s, 130,s were 145,s...etc., it,s easy enough to drill out a small jet and make it larger.(with jet drills) but this doesn't work in reverse naturally. So who would you recommend for new accurate Jets! or other accurately made carburator parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

You could also do what a guy I know used to do to Harley S&S carb jets , solder them up with solder , redrill with the jet drill size you want . Could be a easy fix in a tight spot, any who just an idea , cheap except for the jet drills.

Ever notice that even with a big collection of jets you never seem to have exactly the right size? Or you can only find three? It's one of those unwritten Laws of Life things, like toast always falling jelly side down. So for me drilling is the easiest and cheapest way to jet carbs. Start small and go larger in steps until it's too rich, then lay on a layer of solder and ream it back to the right size. If you're really anal once you know the right size if you have them in your box you can put in new unsoldered jets, but I never have. |
