HotWheelsBanshee Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a question that no one has been able to answer. If you went up one turn on your needle, how many jet sizes is that equal to. Also, would one turn up on the needle be about 4%-6% bigger on the jet. Just wondering if any of you have tried to figure this out before. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Metering rod is more for bottom to mid throttle check out there website lots of good info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotWheelsBanshee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 True, but the metering rod also affects the power jet as well, right... Forgot to mention, this is for alky and not race gas, if that makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Whats the point in knowing jets sizes when you just need to turn the needle. dont complicate things. im not to sure about the metering rod effecting the power jets that much either. if the needle is that far off it will run shitty in the mid and not come on well on top. i was had my needle perfect but was maxed on the pj and still lean so i went 2 turn rich on the needle hoping to have enough on top but was still lean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotWheelsBanshee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 So would a bigger power jet help with getting it richer on the top end. Im looking at running the M5 instead of the M1, and they say go 4%-6% bigger on the jet size. I just dont want to melt a piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey Randy Maybe we can get together on the Dyno over at Verns . You've been real quite this winter. I know you have something up your sleave for next month. I would like to see how your Flo Tech runs against my site sponsor set up anyway.

HotWheelsBanshee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey Troy, I need to get over there and see what it does on that dyno. But for now i need to find another power jet to put on my carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd just put some adjustable pjs in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 M5 is garbage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotWheelsBanshee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 So the M5 isnt what they are saying it is or does... well in that case i will leave it alone, but i still need another power jet, one is not going to be enough to feed it, and i dont want to burn up a piston just yet...

m671054 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Use clippard style adjustables. i dont think drilling them is that good of an idea. that messes up the adustability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
