dead easy carb question

Hi, I've fitted a K&N filter in place of original sierra one, is it a good idea to re-jet the carb ?

its a weber 2v ( 30/34 dfth ) fitted to a 2ltr pinto auto choke

jets are, main 110, secondary 135

air correction, 160 secondary 150

these are for an automatic gearbox which are different from the manual

also whats the score with bike carbs regarding road use i:e cost etc

BTW this is not a seven type car, but you've probably guessed that already, not many use auto's

letting air flow easier you risk it running a little leaner. You could do nothing, up the jets .05mm and see, or stick it on an emissions machine and see how it looks.

I thought you said it was dead easy???

As JoelP says, the filter *may* allow more air to flow through the carb. But on top of that, the possible lack of restriction that the original air filter may of offered will mean that fuel may not be pulled quite so readily from the jets. Not strictly correct terminology, but I'm trying to keep it simple

However, just sticking it on an emissions machine wont tell you anything - other than the mixture is right (or wrong) at idle. The only real way of ensuring that carburation remains spot on is to be able to measure the exhaust gases when the vehicle is being driven. That means either a rolling road session, or a wide band lambda probe in the exhaust, and a bit of luck...





Dont just build it.....make it!
