I bought a main jet from one of the retailers ads from the site here. I don't want to complain so I won't mention who.
I got my jet in the mail today. I am running a stock nt carb from a BGF kit BTW. The new main jet is the correct size height and diameter as the old one, but it won't thread onto the nozzle more than 1 full turn.
Obviously the thread count is wrong, but I read that Dellorto jets were an exact match for these carbs, and even says so on the site I ordered it from.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Did I get an odd sized nozzle or bad jet or ???
Again, I'm sure you guys know where I got the jet from, but I am not complaining to them until I figure out it's not user error.
Update:
I got in contact with the retailer yesterday and swapped some emails. Apparantly this is the second case that he knows of this happening. The first guy just threaded the main jet in anyway.
I am afraid of doing that as I am not sure what main jet size I need yet. If I force this one in and I can't get it out for some reason I will have to buy a whole new carb as I haven't found the emulsion tubes sold seperatly.
Any advice would be appreciated here.
