Hate to beat a dead horse but.....

#77 and 65??
20 Piece Solid Carbide Micro Bit Grab Bag

Google "drill chart."
Personally, I would not use carbide drills for this without some very secure way to hold both the jet and drill(like a lathe). Brass tends to grab and carbide will shatter if you try to bend the bit at all. HSS(high speed steel) will be more forgiving.
Those little carbide bits would be good for drilling something abrasive like fiberglass circuit boards.

FYI....im in fresno and didnt want to wait for online order for a drill set so i started searching. fresno ag had the individual bits and a set. they were out of the set and individual bits were any where from 2.5o to 3 $ apeice. holy crap! i only bought the #77 and 65 but read that others have had to use differeent sized bits to open up the jets. anyway today i went to hobbytown. they have all the bits for 89 cents each. bought every bit to make a set and a pin vice for 5 $. now im ready to re jet.

bump with a couple of questions.
do you need to change the emulsion tube when opening up the main jet? or is it just something you do to maximize performance?
also the predator engine is slightly different from the clone, right? what do i need to be aware of to make things go smooth for me? like the idle jet? it is different from the clone right. how do i adjust the predator idle jet?
thanks

ok tonight i drilled out the main jet. holy :censure:!! the front wheel does n ot want to stay down. this is great.
problem though. BTW, this is a predator in a badger 100. before doing anything, the motor would start no problem with full choke. however, i could only move it maybe 25% and it would sputter and die. so i drilled out main jet. works good, but i can only open the choke about 90%. if i open all the way, the motor will not stay running unless i keep blipping the throttle. how do i adjust the predator idle screw? the predator doesnt have a idle jet, right?
thanks chris for all the info you put here.
