What you could do, since it's brass, is to solder them closed and then drill out to the diameter you need. Hardware stores have those miniscule exact-size drill bits.


How did you know that your jets were too large? Fuel fumes in the exhaust? Fouled plugs? I'm really curious, especially since I may have to do the same thing.

Did Holley say that there were no jets from other carburetors that would fit?
