What more needs to be said, then. Away from aircraft, at least..... To change jet sizes, one uses ORIFICE DRILLS to know EXACTLY what one is changing the new size to. Cobbling and butchering is not recommended. In addition, new jets of difference sizes usually can be procured. Other than that, if an engine that is half a century old has survived this far, maybe, one should find the true source of the lean condition. A qualified A&P mechanic is a good AND LEGAL source to use in the USA.
