    Re: Tilt/trim woes. Steel pin stuck/seized inside aluminum Oh boy..... the welds certainly were strong enough!

    Replacing stock reeds with Boyesens. Need to replace/resize jets. HELP!

    Re: Replacing stock reeds with Boyesens. Need to replace/resize jets. HELP! Hi everyone. I took the jets out of the carburetors today. Looks like both port and s/board carbys are #27 (0.027 thousandths of an inch, diameter). This would mean IF they are air jets then I would need to replace them...
