There are many more metering orifices in a modern carburetor besides just jets that need to be enlarged. Idle feed restrictors, power valve channel restrictors, accelerator pump, booster size, passage diameter, and emulsion characteristics all need to be correct for a carb to operate properly on ethanol. Yes, you can get it to run by just changing jets, but run properly (or even good) is a whole different story. PS. Now if you drive a lawn mower like water boy you could probably get away with changing just jets. (I'm kidding with you guys here) _________________ E85 racer and E85 carb builder www.horsepowerinnovations.com E85 powered 68 Camaro street car Best ET on motor 9.96 @ 133 MPH, 5.92 on N2O in the 1/8th Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         E85Forum.com Forum Index -> open forum on E85 ethanol fuel All times are GMT - 5 Hours Goto page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Discussions----------------THIS FORUM IS MOVING TO E85FORUM.NETopen forum on E85 ethanol fuelNuts and Bolts  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
