Which side did you run the #52? And why? Carburetion is the least of my
strengths, and I may be changing from 29mm to 30mm for my ambo, so I am
philosophically interested.

Ross

Are you running a little rich now on the low end???
They also came in the V7 sport. I found on a web site the measurements
of the tapers between the two. Bottom line they let more fuel pass at a
lower throttle opening. The V9 needle applications also came with the
#40 throttle slides vs the #60 with the V5 needles.
I found them too rich for my Ambo which is a real lean burning engine.
I went back to the V5 needle and run a #52 idle jet in one side and a
#60 in the other with the needle in the high clip.
