Can anyone confirm that this kit on eBay are drill blanks that can be used for checking Carburetor Orifices and passageways.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/293193678141
I assume these would be more accurate than sharp drill bits when checking the carburetor out for OEM specs?
Thanks,
mark

steve,
i'll look for it.
i am on road to recovery from this stupid sciatica that laid me out four weeks ago.
am able to sit upright again and haven't all that much to do right now as i am supposed to be taking it easy.
those posts may have been in old forum thus almost impossible to repost.
may take a while to find them.
i'm pretty sure i'll have time .
i able to get around now at least but can't work just yet.

Mark, these are standard pin gauges. If the correct carb holes are between .011 and .060, these pin gauges should measure them O.K. I usually just find what drill number the carb should be and check the holes with the blunt end of my number drills. Having the gauge set is a plus.
Big Dave, sorry you feel less than yourself! Hope things improve soon. Ted

I just ordered some on eBay so I can check the orifices.
I also use the blunt end of a new number drill set I only use to check carbs.
From memory which isn't the greatest anymore I do remember drilling out the high speed needle orifice to 0.060" and the carb worked fine. I think that is the only modification I made other than setting the fulcrum to 0.075" down from the diaphragm surface and POP to around 12psi like I do with all my gas tillys.

Sorry Dave, I struggled with that for almost a year, it is the worst. Mine turned out to be a cyst on a nerve root that finally drained.
I had 4 cortisone shots in my spine that did absolutely nothing. The surgeon even tried to drain the cyst with a guided needle that lifted me off the table about a foot...Pain like I never felt. That didn't help either. Another surgeon told me to hang on and the cyst would drain by itself eventually and he was correct.
I also did acupuncture which did give me some relief, never believed in it until then.
Hang on, it should get better. Too bad you are laid up, I was kind of hoping you might make it to our Avon Antique reunion.
