Jetting on a Weber 500 for a Rover 4.6???

Post by mgbv8 »

Do any of you run this combo?

What secondary jets do you use??
What primary jets and needles have you found to be best?

Right!
She is now re jetted etc to a more lean setting.
I cant actually start it unstil saturday at the dyno as its too loud to do at home.

But I can try it and alter as needed now I've got my jetting kit back from my chum.
