Oops over- drilled

KseKermit · 05-26-2020, 07:22 PM

I don't recommend it, I'm lucky nothing broke off and went into my engine. I over drilled my 105 main that comes in the brozz, so I decided I wasn't waiting for my jet kit to get here to ride, so this is what I rigged up. Copper wire bent to restrict flow with another piece holding it on. Wasn't too bad actually.

I've flowed a little solder into jets that were too big and drilled again. So far so good.

Yeah, just solder and redrill... That probably won't run too well.

Or, just buy a cheap main jet kit and skip having to drill? less than 9 dollars. https://www.amazon.com/10pcs-Carbure...omotive&sr=1-6

Are they as good as genuine jets? No, but they still work.

Yep I had one ordered, was waiting on it to deliver while I was "fixing" my oops.

It ran super good actually! Hit 70mph, was a tad rich but still got the job done.
