Please let me know if you get an answer to this that comes in directly. I
was just fixin' to send out the same message, ironically. Friday night I
replaced one of the little oval buggers in the rear carb. It worked great

Sunday AM it was great. Got home Sunday PM and that same jet was pouring
more gas down than a four-barrel Rochester. It's so comforting to have it
miss the hot exhaust pipe by almost two inches.
