DIY....re-jetting a 6.5

This thread helped me immensely tonight.

Man these #77 bits are tiny tiny!

Buttoning up my carb rejet at the moment.

Spent the entire day messing w Billet rod, Billet flywheel, carb rejet etc etc etc....lol
 
You will nee a #77 drill to open up the idle jet. I grip the drill in a pair of small vise grips and gently rotate the jet between my fingers over the drill. Go slow, take your time the tiny drill is very fragile. You are only opening up the jet .001” or .002” Your only drilling thru the brass stop once you see the drill like in the photo. Use some carburetor cleaner and compressed air to make sure the jet is 100% clean before re-installing it

Since this info is deemed to be incorrect, can we change or delete it so that future builders don't use it like I did and have issues?

The incorrect info seems to be that an idle jet on a Predator should not be drilled.
 
Well just bought a predator from harbor freight. No pilot jet in the black screw. This was the EPA version not the carb/Cali version motor.
