Re: 22mm Jetex

I have managed to source the dellorto jets from omes that I already had and have soaked them in petrol over night- I do not have a 5899/4 atomizer but have a dellorto stamped 5899/2.

Can I use the 5899/2 or would it be best to keep the Jetex one in? There doesnt seem to be any difference visually

Re: 22mm Jetex

Ive replaced the main Jet with a dellorto one- ill have to have a look through my other bits and bobs for the corresponding dellorto ones and replace.

Could this be an electrical /timing fault? Ive replaced the copper wire with a length of silicone HT lead.

Tickover just seems really weak.

22mm Jetex

After struggling with a series of Dellorto carbs with stripped choke threads, I bought a Jetex 22mm for my Li 150 with electronic ignition and AF clubman exhaust. Problem is I cant seem to get an even tickover?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Re: Number plates -??

I'm gonna have a go at painting my own using a stencil. I want the original sixties style painted font (bottom) as opposed to the new one. Any ideas on what metal i should use?
