SER1 Jets for Solex Carb

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/12/30]

Hey Team.  My 107SW is running a little rich and it is time for a tune up,
so I thought I'd try to re-jet and get some better performance and solve the
over rich problem.  I'm running the original Solex on a late 2L.  What would
be the best jet size to step down to resolve the issue?  I'm not well versed
on the jetting of carbs.  A little help would be great.

Would I change out the main jet (# 260173) or would I change another jet
like the "Jet Economy" # 26140 or 261974 or one of the other jets (pilot
jet, correction jet, starter jet, luxury jet, jet liner, George Jetson)?
What are those jets for anyway?  Shows you what I know about carbs!

Oh, and to answer the obvious questions, the mixture control is maxed out
and the plugs are running a little sooty.  The points are OK, timing is set
properly, airflow seems to be unrestricted and the oil bath is clean.
Theoretically, I should be good to go.  Just need to reduce the volume a
bit.  

Thanks in advance for your help.
