vizard video on emulsion tube tuning

[jhirasak]

During steady state or cruise conditions at 70 mph, I am now seeing about 13.5 or 14 to 1 A/F ratios. As far as the emulsion tube is concerned, I am happy to stay with the F11 tube.

It has occurred to me that anyone who has gone through the process of dialing in their 48 IDA Webers to their particular car probably has a few extra set of jets that they have determined to be outside of their tuning range for normal changes due to temperature, altitude, and possible additional modifications to their setup. In addition, they also probably would like to have additional jet sets to fill in the sizes that bracket their current settings. This is true in my case where I have two sets of idle jets (50 and 55) that I would like to trade for a set of 60 or 65 idle jets, as well as a set of 155 main jets that I would like to trade for a set of 145 main jets.

What do you think of the idea of setting up a thread to exchange of a set of 48 IDA jets that you no longer need for some to fill in those you would like to have? I think that it would be to the advantage of everyone that runs 48 IDAs to list their excess jet set availability and desires and arrange for a swap using a PM where a match is available. If someone wanted to dispose of a set of jets outright, they could offer them up at half retail price which would still benefit both parties. There would have to be an understanding that any jet set offered by any party must not be altered in any way (i.e. re-drilled to another size). By using Priority Mail with delivery confimation, tracks of exchanges could be assured. Do any of you think that this is workable?
