The main section of the new jets appear to be about a half a thou larger than the ones I removed. I polished this one as I did the one I got into the first carb, but perhaps not quite enough. It was within 50 thou of its final position when I bent it. I may also try to find and fit a bit of a nail shank into the pickup end of the jet, just to add some rigidity when pressing it in.
