Jet sizing ??
« on: May 15, 2009, 06:38:12 PM »
carb jets for example #90(cb550k)...#35 (cb360).....what does the 90 or 35 mean,

I know that it is the hole opening(bore) drill size size,diameter,

is that a .0001 inch measurement or a millimeter measurement..

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
