Dill it out to .093 and be done with it. You can always turn the load screw in if it is to rich. Motec make his own ventuies. Bigger than you will ever get from Treadwell. Motec can built a better carb than Treadwell for about half the price. [Reply]  [No Email]

Leave the jet out of the passage in the carb. Many do not even have it. Doug, my carbs for big displacement engines are straight wall venturi but I wouldn't recommend that for stock or near displacement engines. Most will start rite up with no choke. If I want high performance info Motec is my man, Treadwell are great people and do a lot of actual manufacturing of obsolete parts and I use them , but due to Matt's work with big displacement pulling engines and feeding them with stock appearing carbs I feel he has the edge in performance apps. Matt taught me over the fone more than I ever knew about MS carbs, he readily shares info. mEl This post was edited by mEl at 04:50:02 12/14/12. [Reply]  [No Email]
