whenfoxforks-ruled said:That is a "herman" carb all right! Yamaha ran them on their 65 tt600, now a 2 barrel? http://www.carbkit.net/TEIKEICARBURETOR.asp . If all else fails, find what available jets have the same thread, just keihn? Why no pilot jets? Won't mikuni jets fit? And for the second time mideastrider, drilled jets DO NOT FLOW THE SAME! Any 2 drilled with the same drill bit, WILL NOT FLOW THE SAME. ESPECIALLY SOME CRAPPY DRILL BITS FROM HARBOR FREIGHT!!! Buying the proper tooling is ridiculous to be attempting this in the garage, if available at all? They are more than likely hand made tooling.

dmerc said:Okay ladies, let's see this "special tool" for sizing jets.
Total bull....all of it.
Just because you've all listened to the same crap, doesn't make it true. It only makes you wrong, and gullible. :nod:
As for Harbor Freight, they have cheap tools, for when "close" is good enough.
If y'all wanted brain surgery, I'd be a bit more selective. :laugh:
sr5bidder said:Whoa..been putting a mini trail engine together all weekend and drinking beer.... looks pretty heated in this topic.
So when I find a jet with the right threads can I assume that jet sizes from different carb makers are the same or do they size them thier own way??[/QUIf the thread pitch is the same, and the length of the jet, you are in business.

Regrettably I know a guy who bought one of them also. Accurate, no. I would rather have a 100 year old used south bend lathe any day. And do not loose your receipt! Its good for 30 days. Real world, an .018 bit can drill a hole about .020 or bigger, its called clearance. Then you go in with a ream or broach to take the last couple of thousandths off the finish bore. Harbour freight does not sell those, they only sell you enough to get you in trouble, think you know what you are doing, and coming back more for more! This is nothing, its dirt bikes, you should see what self proclaimed geniuses do for plumbing repairs! When harbour freight opened, the cheap in me sent me there, I do not even buy latex gloves there anymore!dmerc said:That is the biggest load of crap, no matter HOW many want to agree with you. It's total BS! :coocoo:
>>>>>"ESPECIALLY SOME CRAPPY DRILL BITS FROM HARBOR FREIGHT!!!" :laugh:
Drills are drills, they either cut to size, or don't...this isn't titanium being drilled here!!
>>>>"They are more than likely hand made tooling." :blah:
BTW, I HAVE a minilathe.....actually a "crappy Harbor freight" mini lathe. But, I drilled my jet with a cordless drill!! :rotfl:
