The jetting will vary from engine to engine, but if Jake knows how the motor is built, I'm sure he can tell you how to jet it. Altitude, cam profile, compression, port diameter, and exhaust diameter, and length will play into how your carbs should be set up.

I've always used the "trial and error" method. Once I think I've found stoiciometric, I drive a couple of miles and check the spark plugs to make sure I'm not running too rich, or too lean.

It took me a total of 8 hours to get the DHLA's dialed in on my TR6 because they came off of Alfa Romeo engines, and I couldn't find any info on how to jet Dellorto's on a six cylinder Triumph.

Keep trying, you'll get it right!
