Dear Masters of Carbs ([ishould this really be plural?[/i]),
As many of us have gone through a 1.7L rebuild and moved to a 1.8L (::nod to Oregon72!!!::), is there a better or target main jet we should be using?
My stock Dual 32/34 Solexs currently have 127.5s in them. I believe I overheard a little birdie say that increasing this to a 130, 132.5, or 135 would be better.
Please confirm, reject, or dispute my claim. :)
For reference, here is Gene Berg's list of main jets:

Re: Improved Jets on Dual Solexs on 1.8L
(also the automatics call for 50 cut-off jets to help warm idle issues, most replacement jets are 55 and I am not sure that you would notice the difference- edit)dhoch14 wrote:Dear Masters of Carbs ([ishould this really be plural?[/i]),

Will I need to tweak anything once this is completed? Like the mixture - ratios.
