Which slide is the richest?

Using an SH1/20 and looking to make the fuel mix a bit richer lower down the throttle position

Looking at the slides available on SR and there are

5914/1
5914/2
7895/1
7895/2

slides available. Based purely on the reasoning that the 7895/1 is for the GP200 and therefore likely to be the richest I'm guessing that in order or richness they would be ordered

7895/1
7895/2
5914/1
5914/2

From rich to weak?

Probably totally rubbish so any help on that appreciated!

Yes, that's basically it. One is richer than two. In both cases the 2 will have a larger cut out.

Thanks , so is there is a difference between a 5914/1 and a 7895/1 then in terms of richness?

I have a 5014-1 fitted at the moment so I want to know if changing to one of the slides above will make a difference?

Other than the fact that one is for a 22mm carb and the other a 20mm.

The 7895 is for the SH/22 carb and the 5914 is for the SH/20.The 5914-1 is the richest slide for an SH/20 carb,according to the Cambridge Lambretta site.

Thanks all. So looks like I have the wrong slide in as nothing on the Cam Lam list has 5014-1, so I'll have a look for one of the ones listed but it probably wont make much of difference richness wise but you never know.

(mine is a Lui 50 running a Centro barrel bored out to 125 with an SH1/20 so cant just take the standard and will need to experiment)
