What are the different jets in a carburetor?
On the bottom for the carburetor you typically have two jets. The pilot, the smaller of the two, and the main jet.
What size jets should I use?
The suggested change in jet size is to go down one jet size for every 1,500 feet in density altitude you go up. Conversely, for every 1,500 feet you go down in density altitude, go up one jet size.
How do you know what size jet to get?
Adjust the jets one size for every 2,000 foot change in elevation or for every 35 degree change in temperature. For example, your current elevation is 2,000 feet above sea level with a temperature of 70 degrees. You can calculate that the jets should be increased by exactly one size.
What size idle jet for a Solex?
The most common power jet size on all Solex carburettor versions is 65 (except for the H30/31 which usually has a smaller power jet – around 47.5). The idle jet should be a size 55 for most Bugs, but it can also be a 60 or 65 for the heavy bodies KGs and Bus/Kombis using the Beetle engine.
What size idle jet do I need for 30 series carbs?
Make sure the Power Jet (50, in the ANGLED location) is to the rear, and the Idle Jet (65, out the side) is in the front . 30 Series carbs should use a 50-55 idle jet. If you are at elevation, your engine will be happier with a smaller idle jet.
Where is the main jet on a Pict carburetor?
The main jet is accessed by removing the big brass bolt on the left side of the PICT carburetor, right at the bottom of the carburetor bowl. Unscrew this bolt and look at it — if there is a jet screwed into the bolt (older models), you can deal with it in hand, so to speak.
