Hi guys
I'm rebuilding my carb, and I've noticed that several of the jets in the kit are higher than the originals. For example, my original SLOW JET is a 35, while the same slow jet in the kit is a 40.
Should I keep the original jets when possible? Or should I go ahead and replace them with these different but still appropriate jets? What might that do to performance?
Thanks!

Re: Carb Jets in common rebuild kits
A 35 in a DREAM carb is a bit large as I recall.
What kit did you get the 40 jet in?
Not sure but I thought 30 was standard
Someone will reply for sure. ..............lm

Carb Jets
I got the KEYSTER KH-0019 kit
for Honda C77, C77A, and CA77
I ended up putting it back together with the original jet (35) and the rest are from the kit.
You think I should just go ahead and do the whole new jet kit? with the 40?

Re: Carb Jets
It has been known for a long time that the kit you have doesn't have correct replacement parts.
You may want to compare the needle to what you have and I don't think you should use any parts that are not rubber. .........lm

I recommend you use your original jets and needle. ...........lm

The kit comes with a main jet (130) slow jet (40).
Other than the jets, all the other parts seem to fit accordingly.
Maybe I should just wash up and use the original ones, although like I said, the bike had a 35 slow jet and a 120 main jet
