Also, are they called anything other than "wire gauge drill bits"? It seems like I should really be coming up with more results than I am.

Sorry for the bombardment Randy, but it looks like the sets on ebay go from 1-60 or 61-80. Which set should I get?

You said previously you're usually using something in the 50's with 60 being the highest.

Is that the same for the stock carb?

Well, I spent the last half hour surfing the net to try to find those bits for you. I can only find these: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...=drill+bit+set

http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_17491_17491

I even called one guy.

I have 2 sets. One I got from biglots 6-7yrs ago. I was just like the 2 I posted above, but in a plastic case for about 30 bucks. The other set I got from a friend.

Graingers has everything, but usually expensive unless you know someone who has a corporate account with them.

If you keep searching online, I'm sure you'll find a decent deal. Maybe ebay? One place had a set from #60-#97. If you run across one of those sets, let me know. I should have just bought it back when I saw it. I didn't even save the link.... But sets up to #60 are a dime-a-dozen really.

Sometimes they call them numbered bits.

Well, I don't have any with a bigger number than 60, so it couldn't be more than that.

The 61-80 might be good for drilling pilot jets, but I'm holding out till I find that 61-97 set.

I went to the garage n found some scraps of paper that I jotted notes on.... I have " #57 is a tiny bit smaller than a 160 jet. #56 is a little smaller than a 180 jet. #54 = 250jet almost exactly." I also have some 30's n 40's where I was drilling my jets last year.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. There was one set on ebay that was 61-80 for 4 bucks.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200326284554

And then a few other 1-60 ones.

I'm going to see if I can find a set in a store around here since I would like to be able to have them by Friday so I can work on the wheeler once I'm home. I saw that GRIP tools had a set, but they're a cheap knock-off brand and I can't find a local store that carries them. The only place I can think of is an unclaimed freight place about an hour or so north of home. I know they carry GRIP but I'll have to call them to see if they have the right set. The ones online were $14.99 for 1-60.

Cool, I had better luck once I started using that instead.

Alright, then I guess I'll start with a 1-60 set and see how it goes.

Man Randy, you just got upgraded to "Extreme Pro Rider"! That sounds awfully important!
