    When you guy's say to upjet 15% say, are you referring to orofice diameter or area?

    ie:, you have a 100 jet and go up 15%, does that mean a 115 jet? + 15% diameter?

    Or are you upping the fuel flow, ie. area of orofice?

    That would be approx 108 jet.

    if the jet was 100 and you were upjetting 15% you would use a 115 jet, and if the jet was a 50 jet you would use 58 jet etc etc

    Thanks mate, just curious about the measuremant method.


    Fyi, if you had a 100 jet and wanted to run twice as rich, you would run a 140. Not a 200.

    yes but the size of the hole is never the focus of attentioin with most people.. hence we use the number percentage. ;)

    Start rich, It's better to work you're way down on jet size than work you're size up in squeaked pistons!

    when it says 15% for a pipe or whatever.. you dont add them all together. id be running a 300 jet by the time an engine is built.. if your fitting a 70 kit then go with the rough upjet from stock for that with a pipe.. its not correct.. its just a GENERAL recomendation.. gotta try a few an note the diff
