Measure your actual Main Jet orifice with a metric drill or guage. I found the stamped size (#255 was actually #250, so I took it out to #260 - so from 2.5mm to 2.6mm) 2. Removed the plenum chamber airfoil-shaped flow divider and placed a 1/2 inch diam tube/rod in its place. 3. Drilled the main airbleed out to 3/16 inch _ that's the one that goes from the intake bellmouth straight to the needle jet emulsion tube. Remove these, drill airbleed carefully and remove swarf, then before replacing the separate emulsion tube with its 4 x 2.5 mm holes, drill these 4 holes out to 3mm. While you are about it, you can drill out the choke system fuel bleed jet in the float bowl to 1 - 1.2 mm, and the idle airbleed jet in the bellmouth to 1.2 mm and use #35 pilot jet.
