Title: Where is the thread about re-jetting??
Post by wsladaritz on 07/11/08 at 18:04:31

I've done searches and read alot of posts about rejetting the carb. They all say pretty much the same thing. You need to rejet if you modify the exhaust, just search the forum and you can find a thread that tells how to do it.

I can't find it :( :-[

Can anyone give me a link to the thread that tells how to do a re-jet??

So does re-jetting just mean changing those two needles?? I've got those ordered already, will be getting to change those next week sometime. But do I just need to replace those to two needles and re-jetting is done?

The needle is not a jet. Jets are small brass restricting orifices that screw into fuel passages upward from the float bowl. The needle is attached to a slide that runs up and down from the top of the carb and varies fuel restriction based on engine vacuum. The more the engine vacuum pulls the needle down, the less fuel can flow between the needle and the passage.
Hope that helps.
