RE: Altering jet sizes in your weber carbies.

[Terry Rudd]

Richard,   Most serious carbie businesses had a set of +.05mm jet reamers, they just looked like drill bits to me but you could get jets modified from 1mm up to 2mm. I've had some jets reamed over the years but the problem is identifying them. I drilled a dimple in the side of them to indicate they .05 over what was printed on them. The idea of soldering jets up didn't occur to me.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard Clough Sent: Sunday, 18 March 2001 8:40 To: Datsun 1600 Subject: Altering jet sizes in your weber carbies. We all know how expensive it is to play jet swaps in your multi webered L series.   An acquaintance who was into racing Alfa GTV's in the 1970's told me that he used to alter the jets in the weber carbs by using a jet reaming tool.  Basically its a multi stepped drill that you insert in the jet orifice and drill it out to the next size larger, then repeat until you get the to size that works best.   Here's the tricky bit, when they wanted a smaller size, no probemo, just solder up the orifice in the brass jet after measuring its size,and drill out to a smaller size using the jet reamer.    Anyone heard of these jet reamers and/or used the soldering and redrilling trick to alter carby jets?  --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
