O.k., now I am officially confused!
I would be led to understand that a larger jet (i.e. a .088 over a .086) would allow MORE fuel, correct? I just pulled the bowls on my carbs (1990 120HP Force L Drive) and found both the top and bottom jets to be at .080
!?!? I confirmed this with some calipers and they were indeed .080. This thing should have been running leaner then all get out if my assumptions are correct. I cant even find .080 jets on the net.
I should also mention that at 5500 rpm my engine has an intermittent miss, kind of a low popping/detonation sound. Would this also be caused by the .080 jets??According to the reply by Roscoe, it should be at .086 and .088 for 6000+ feet above sea level. Would somebody who is carb. savvy please explain how the low idle needle adjustment relates to the main jets?? Does the main jet take over at some point ( I wouldn't believe there is any transition as ALL fuel in the bowl passes through the main jet-correct?)? Due to the small jets, would this explain why I had to screw out the idle needle adjustment so much to keep it from dying at 800rpm????
