    What Do Air Jets affect on Mikuni VMs if there is a Primary Type NJ?

    I know Bleed type (175 P-x) the air comes in from the Air Jet and can atomize fuel through the needle jet because there's little holes in it, but for say, the Dave F carb mod (169 P-x (VM30s), 159 P-x (VM28s)) , what does enlarging the Air Jet do?

    RD350 Plug Chop Opinions
