I'm guessing that this is the impact of drilling my slow jet out from a 40 to more like a 45. People talk about this having some impact right across the rev range. I'm sure no expert - just trying to figure things out and learn...
Yes, the pilot jet affects fuel mixture right on up the range to wide open. When you get to 1/4 throttle, the needle starts adding fuel to what the pilot jet is already delivering. At 3/4 throttle, the needle has done all it can, and from here on up, it's 100% main and pilot jet. The needle controls fuel flow through the main jet from 1/4 throttle to 3/4 throttle...ARH
