[QUOTE="old and rusty, post: 230327, member: 6588"] Appreciate the response Tom, funny about jbugs. I'd ordered a #40 pilot jet from them, but there must have been a problem as they cancelled the order and refunded to the money. I've checked on Amazon and will be buying one through them. Right now I'm running a #55 pilot 127.5 main. When trying to adjust for idle couldnt really tell much of a difference when turning either of the two adjustment screws. Didn't think I had any vacuum leaks, so do you think it was the too large pilot jet preventing me from being able to dial it in? It would run, but was so rich it would burn my eyes trying to set it. I've had no experience with Solex carbs prior to this, and not much of a carb guy to begin with so have been feeling a little lost and frustrated about the whole thing. Any info id run across on other sites seemed to vary quite a bit. Is the 34 pict 3 not a good carb for this application? At first had read how it was... then after installing it kept hearing that it wasn't. Your reply has shed some light on the subject for me, really appreciate it. With any luck I'll have some new #40 #145 jets to try by this weekend... thanks. [/QUOTE]
