[QUOTE="69ST, post: 180265, member: 5"] IDK what carb that is, the jets are even more mysterious. A real VM22-133 carb has the bowl drain/main jet holder located at the rear edge of the float bowl, parallel to the venturi. It also takes the hexagonal main jets, same as the VM20 & VM26. The carb pictured looks to be a Chinese knockoff...and the jets, wtf? Personally, I'd contact the vendor from whom you bought the engine & carb. Unless something is damaged, or you have a massive vacuum leak, the supplied carb should work reasonably well. If you do decide to go for a genuine Mikuni carb, go for a VM20, and start with a #150 main/#20 pilot jet. The VM22 won't give you any more power but, it will be much harder to dial-in. FYI, the carbs I've seen included with L110/125 motors are usually 18mm, true size. [/QUOTE]
