Rejetting for 1776cc
hey guys
was thinking about getting a 1776cc with stock heads to replace my 1600 in my type 3 notch and was wondering that if i keep the stock carbs
(till i save to get bigger ones) what would i have to do about jetting?
thanks Michael

G'day Michael,
I once asked the same question...here's a simple answer:
There is not "set" rule for jet sizes for a given engine size. You can't just go and ask for a set of "1776" jets. All engines and carb/exhaust
combinations are different. You should check the colour of your spark plugs after driving. For example to check the main jet you would run at full
throttle and then cut the engine and coast to a stop, then pull out the plugs and have a look. Black is rich, white is too lean and a nice even tan
colour is spot on. Based on this you can play with the jet sizes until you get the right combo. There is so much more to jetting and carb matching
than I even imagined or will ever know.
Try searching the forum as there is a lot on here about it as well as some good links to other sites.
Here's one:

That said I'll take a back seat and see what the pro's say.
Cheers!
Toby

the aircooled article is right on the money (or really close to it). I have used it on a couple of different motors and carb combinations and it has
worked a treat. Only minor adjustment is needed from there baseline in my experience.
cheers
