[T3] the Carb experts....

[Keith Park]

Well I ordered Jets, the next size up was 137.5 so I got that and a 140 to
try too if I need to, same thing for the idle jets, I ordered the next 2
sizes up as that's all they had.

I also ordered the Oil cooler, the price of the cooler isn't bad but once
you add all the hoses, fittings, adapters etc, well... lets just say I wont
be carrying my wallet around for a while now, its empty!

But... its been done!  Lets hope this works!

Thanks for the catch Brent!  I meant one half of one jet size.  So 1.35
would go to 1.355
