jets in carburetors (solex) Sat, 27 July 2002 07:09 Go to next message
Hey I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the numbers on the jets in my later model solex carburetors stand for? Does a larger no denote a larger jet size?

For example, the air jets (top ones you can see) will probably be 150. This means 1.5mm. It will look a bit like 750, but its actualy 150 with a big 1. Idle jets will be about 57.5. Mains about 135, meaning 1.35mm.

For my own interest and refernce, can you please tell me what jets your carbies have, airs (top), mains (bottom), idle(little top ones)? And the part number of the side if you have that, and what style you have. Thanks.

Webber carbies use a different numbering system.

Sorry i dont have access to the jets at the moment, my left arm is in a sling for the next month. Typing with one hand is awesome. I am curious because i have a pair of carbs from an 18rg on my 2tg, it runs well, but i think the no's on the jets are quite different to the ones that i just sold from a 2tg. same carbs different jets, and mine (from the 18rg) seem to use more fuel, $10=about 120km's, if i am trying to be conservative. From memory the jet no's on the 2tg carbs were larger, main jets anyway. Is there any jet combo's that are recommended, work best?, like rough ride but revs better and a combo for overall smoothness and good performance. cheers, pete

I rang Sean Malony on Melbourne and he told me what different 2TG carbies where set up standard. I have it all written down. Tell me what generation carbie you have, and what choke size and I will tell you some jet sizes to try.

Do you jet covers have wing nuts or screws?
Do you have adjustable fuel level from outside?
Is there a part number on the outside, a toyota sticker?

cheers, i know they are the later ones, no wing nut screws, they sound better than the older ones, better than my mates anyway, sound real nice.

Also have 2 ball bearings and 2 weights in each carb, act as a valve, used with diaphragm at base or carb to squirt fuel into manifold, I assume for better throttle response when the accelerator is pressed, do all solex carbs use this system?. Stickers are worn off.
I heard my carbs are more problematic (from toysport website), I will admit they are hard to tune, and go out of tune easily, what else is wrong? petes

I would be happy to take a look at anyones car for a quick poke and diagnosis. If results are expected, a small fee may apply, but nothing you can't afford.

Peps: That pump you are talking about is a accelerator pump, yes, to enrichen the mixture when you mash the pedal to the metal. And every carbie has one of some sort, just with the 2TG you have 4 squirters, one for each cylinder! You would have a big flat spot without it. If your carbies are going out of tune, there must be something wrong with your linkages. With good linkages that are not loose or anything (I use the factory set up), they should only get out of tune if the weather changes.
