    Default swapping Jets from starfire carby to 202 carby

    basically i have a reconditioned 202 varajet 2, and i want to put it on the starfire with the starfire jets in it so it doesnt mess up the mix.

    does anyone know how to do this?

    ive got the gregorys guide for the vh 202 and 4cyl and got a fairly good idea on what to do, but i need to know exactly what to do from someone who knows more than i do

    for anyone whose interested, found out after speaking to 4 carburettor experts that you do not need to change the jets to fit a varajet from a 202 to a starfire, it has a variable size jet (hence the name Varajet) i havent tested out the new carby yet but will do soon

    The second barrel has a tapered needle that goes into a jet and the needle lifts up to let more fuel in as more air is sucked through the carby. I would have thought the idle jet and primary main jet would be smaller on the starfire carby. Easiest way to find out if it will work is bolt it on.

    i have put the new carby on and works fine, just needs a good tune. ive tuned it the best i can, but suggestions on how to better tune it would be helpful?

    also there was another brakcet that came with it (that holds the accelerator cable) that had a solenoid that attaches to it, any ideas what that is?
