carb float jet
Turbo Mini Forums

hey,
does anybody know the ID of the needle seat for the float jet on a STd turbo carb, i was told it was only 100 thou but mine is 115 though, i was looking to get more fuel in the float cause i have been told that they can starve of fuel sometimes.

any one done some reaserch on this at all?

I know some folks have enlarged the size of the hole. I believe TurboPhil tried this when he had fuelling problems, he may be able to advise of what he did.

ive got a stanard jet in mine and have had no probs as of yet, but yes the turbo jet is bigger.

i was running 150 bhp at one point with no leaning out hope this helps

Yeah i drilled my needle jet holder out to 2.9mm, think the standard size is 2.5mm ? iirc ....

phil, that was the jet, what about the seat for the needle for the float chamber, are any float bowls running out of fuel?
