Metering rod hanger depth question

<< < (2/2)

Frank400:
I've built a 17056202 and also quite a few of those large main air bleeds carbs, and I may suggest you insert Cliff's air bleeds in those .120 main air bleeds.  They'll end up at about .046"-.048" you can go from there with let's say a 72 jet and Cliff's metering rod, or drill them to .070" and follow Cliff's recipes in his book.  Everything will be soooo easy to tune after that.

OK, it sounds like I should just convert to smaller main air bleeds.  I'm thinking I need four of them, two in the boosters and two in the airhorn, correct?

After that can I use both Cliff's 44 rods or the 50M rods if I rejet to each specific rod?

Frank400:
Yes you need four of them, like you said, and you need Cliff's 44 rod (with a .026" tip.  The M rods have a .036" tip and are for single main air bleed carbs.

Bailey28:
Got the metering rod depth sorted out... The hanger was slightly bent off camber.  Both rods were even, but the whole assembly was bent on a slight angle.
