K 551 Weber kit

Re: K 551 Weber kit
Webers are extremely picky about their jet size, if it doesn't bark
at you under full throttle, your in the ball park. Down here in Southern
California every buggy shop that builds 2180s has a full set of jets.
See if you can find something like that up there with a wheel dyno.
There's no such thing as a perfect Weber/Carter BBD, if you look
there's a growth on the side of it that if on a human would consider
cancerous.

Re: K 551 Weber kit
Where can I find such a jet kit? I've got a rich running Weber too.
Runs good, but smells rich and drinks too much gas. I've tweaked it as
much as I can - I'd like to try new jets, but haven't been able to find any.
