Perhaps part of the carburetor servicing procedure should be to verify the main metering jet size. For one of my tractors, that information is given in the service manual (reprint of IH manual) purchased from one of the popular suppliers. I'll end with a question. Suppose that new jets are no longer available. What about soldering the hole closed and redrilling to the correct size?
