Air Bleeds question

[Sonny]

In your parts store you offer a pair of air bleeds. Are those intended for fitment in the main body or air horn when main air bleed adjustments are needed

Your book suggests TIG rod as an example material for this purpose. 

Thank you.

Those bleeds will work in the main casting and airhorn of any carburetor that has the factory .118-.120" holes in those locations.

We had them made with a very slight chamfer on the edge so they drive in easily.  They are sized at .046". 

They will also work for the DCR's as those passages happen to be the same size......Cliff

Thank you Cliff. The MAB in my carburetor measured at .1100

I have some 1/8 aluminum rod on hand that I was planning to work down for use in my project

Wondering now if an easier route would be to open the .1100 holes up with a 32 or 31 drill to allow use of your air bleeds.

   It would be WAY easier.  Been there done that...

The bleeds will work in all large MAB units and a lot easier that any other method that I know of to put precise bleeds in those locations......Cliff

My large MAB are now not so large. Thanks to Cliff and Frank400 for the guidance.

Cool.  I've done that a few time myself!.....
