Fixed Jets for Carburetor =³High Altitude Jets´

If necessary, adjustable carburetors with a==============³Adjustable´ carburetor with semi-fixed jet

³semi-fixed jet´ may be set leaner, down to =============Eex~mpleW=ea=NV=^F
H = 0, to suit the lower air volume at high 
altitudes.

The so-called “semi-fixed jet” in these carburetors
ensures a minimum supply of fuel. The semi-fixed
jet may be a separate jet (screw or press-fitted)

or an additional bore in the valve jet (see
“Carburetors” handbook).

It is a fact that engine power decreases as 
altitude increases.=qhe additional, altitude-related
enrichment of the mixture can be compensated for

                                                                                                           001TI001 KN
by using a leaner carburetor setting. If the range
of adjustment down to H = 0 is not sufficient to                                 1 2

The optional “high altitude jets” listed in the table

are available for this purpose. Each of these

optional jets is designed for a specific carburetor
=========================================================Carburetor with fixed jet
type.
                                                         (example: WT 360)
Important notes

Use only the type designation stamped on the
carburetor body =e.g. WT 426= to determine the

correct part number.

The replacement of fixed jets should be carried

out only by trained personnel.

Special care must be taken with press-fitted jets:

• Use a pin punch of the right diameter
                                                                                                          001TI002 KN

• Position jet squarely in bore and press home                              1               2
   (for correct position see “Carburetors”
   handbook)
• Do not damage end face of jet while pressing           1 =s~lve jet
   home                                                  2 =cixed jet (screw-fitted)
• Recommendation: Do not reuse jets that have

=========================================================because they make the mixture too lean and
                                                         can cause engine damage.
