Big no no drilling out carb jets!
I usually don't pee all over other people's posts and if I blew your sale, let me know and I'll buy the drill bits from you.

We all know that tools can be misused in untrained hands.

I am still interested in the drill set.

I've no opinion, I'm asking to be educated, especially as I respect the commentor:

If drilling is a no-no, why do they make tools to do so?
(or are these in reality just very small general use drill bits?)

thx

I mostly use the drill bits to make sure there's no debris in the idle jets and accelerator pump jets.

There great when you make 1/18 scale F1 models to make things more realistic.

And kid stuff that gets jack up and you have to fix it with safety wire.

The Weber factory make Jet " Reamers" for altering the jet sizes in their own carburettors !. Yes I know we talk about altering the jet "area" when you drill them out, however in a practical sense where an air correction jet size is generally equal 3 to 1 against a main jet the minute difference between a genuine jet and drilled jet is not noticeable , Professor Lambda says so. ! I use number drills , and even soldered jets up and redrilled them in need.
