[QUOTE="Roy Chambers, post: 177017, member: 11269"] Yep, there is another trick that you can do also. But some times it does not work out and sometimes it works great. You can take a Hacksaw and cut a small grove it the center of the front of the Slide! It acts as a Bleed / Bypass, like the small holes that are drilled in some Carburetors. When this works right, it's kind of like a small accelerator pump! In some cases it really smooths out the transition. But if doesn't work, you have a junk Slide. Also: when you do the File treatment to a Slide, you want to try to start with a Cutaway as close to right to begin with. Trying to change them too much knocks off the relationship / of the Needle. Carburetors are neat, they take care of themselves all the time, As the Bore wears out and the Slide wears out, so does the Needle and Needle Jet. So in most cases the A/f Ratio stays the same. Another thing i have encountered over the years with Carburetors, A given Brand / Style / type/ that works great on one kind of Engine, will give you all kinds of problems on another type of Engine. Making you work for days on end to try to get it right. You would think, the Engine is just a pump, and if it worked good on one Engine it WILL work good on another. Not always the case. Thanks Roy.
