so lets say i have the engine in the competition prep manual, and i'm starting with a 48 weber, jetted like they have in the comp manual, which uses a 42mm venturi.



if i go to a 38mm venturi, which is 20% smaller, does it run richer? 20% richer?



i'm thinking 38mm might be good for break in, and smogging the thing

The carb will run richer with the smaller choke size.



With a 36MM choke I run a 210 main 80 air F-7 tube. There is a lot of stuff to change for road racing.



Not much on the street.
