Carb secondary main jet

<< < (3/4) > >>

Sesman:
I guess it depends on which side of the slides you are adjusting the setting? I prefer to do it downstream of the slide using the smallest diameter drill I have (1/16 eg 1.5mm) ensuring the main tickover screw is not touching the lever arm.

Murf:
Thanks, interesting stuff and very helpful, which side of the slide did you do the sync on, I would have gone for the choke side but now you have me wondering. Great info and no don’t will save a lot of time messing around trying to get it set up when I do get the engine up and running.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I found the engine side easier as it's a straight enough gap
The advantage as I see it is a smaller gap means you can easily reduce the air flow & thus fuel flow at idle.

Bryanj:
Definately flat(engine) side to get a consistent measurement
