Frank, F11 and F16 seem to be the most common. Billy, Jerry, what size tubes do your carbs have? Jonnycakes is using F16s, IIRC.

It's the part between the air correctors and the main jets Jerry.  Size is stamped at the main jet end.

Jerry, under the round cap with the wing-nut there are four brass screw-heads; the ones with the holes in the middle are the emulsion tube/main jet assemblies, and the others are the idle jets. In the second picture, the middle assembly from left to right is the emulsion tube holder, the air correction jet, the emulsion tube, and the main jet.

Those would be the air jets and mains (huge mains!). The tube itself has a number always with an F.

Jerry, what other parts are in your carbs? Chokes, auxiliaries, idle jets, and pump jets? I don't remember who you got these from, but with 150 mains I suspect it was Bear?

Jerry, take a closer look at the main jet size. Are you sure they aren't 130s? ;)

I have not dissected them yet due to other things presently. Priorities. Been gone 1+ month and for most of the next 3 weeks. Plus I don't know #$%* about them yet.  ;D ;) Perhaps I can get into them tomorrow?

I had to dig back through the for-sale section quite a way before I figured it out. ::) He mentioned extra RC jetting, which may have included F16 tubes?

 :) Scott, I'll have to do this tomorrow. Please ask any questions and I will do my best to answer with my limited knowledge of these.

The RC kits came with F16 tubes, while the MPD kits came with F11s. If you find a set of F16s in the extra parts, please send them to me so I can proceed with testing. ;) BTW, the chokes fitted were 31mm, with 32mm included as extras, per Johno's ad.

Didn't see extra tubes but I'll check. Gotta get the mock up completed first then disassemble and drop off stuff at the coater before leaving town on Thursday. Much to do since I'll have been away for 2+ months. Webers are on the back burner mostly for now.

I'll be damned! Those 150's are attached to F16's. Get your address to me asap as tomorrow is the ONLY day I have to get them out before 11/23. Want me to just leave the 150's on? Need anything else (like I know WTF I'm doing)?

The idle jets are at the bottom of the pic. If you run out of time, just leave the main and air jets in the tubes, as they can sometimes be a pain to remove.

Tested the F16 emulsion tubes today (thanks Jerry ;D) compared against F11 tubes, with no other changes from the previous test: 30 chokes, 3.5 aux, 105 main, 185 air. The F16s leaned the motor over the entire range, but had a greater effect at the low and mid range than at the high end. The motor made more HP and torque from about 4250 to 6750 RPM, and was up 1.96 HP and 1.87 ft/lbs at 5500 with the F16s. From 6750 RPM up power is down, with a sharp drop-off in output starting at about 8100, even though the A/F is fairly level, albeit very lean.
Next test will be with 4.5 aux, with no other changes.
