(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)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ....well guys, I was sorta hoping that there would be a better response to ...WHO HAS THE MOST ACCURATE carburator jets. Apparently not many people have jet remers/ jet drill,s to check them. Some responses suggest sodering up the jet, and then drilling/reaming them out to the size needed. I have seen what results from,sodered jets- air or mains that fail. meaning the soder breaks loose, and vibrates out, or turns sideways and blocks the jet. The result is a torched cylinder. I have never used sodered jets and never will and cannot recommend this solution for getting the correct jet size,s. The discussions also brought up "wide band" ..or ..the use of exhaust gas analyzers to dial in the magic air fuel ratio. The use of this tool is normally dependant on ONE "sniffer" up the tail-pipe. This tool does not account for each cylinders Air/ Fuel ratio, but Rather gives a reading of the "average" of all cylinders. I only bring up these points, to provide Information for this group. Information about Where to purchase a cost effective JET DRILL set could be of use. thanks for the responses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) murray
