Terry,
I'm afraid your out of luck. The jet orifice in Strombergs is a pressed in
item and not replaceable, at least on later emission carb's, the ones you
adjust with a 'special' tool. The needles are but the jet itself is not.
Apparently BL didn't want (or worry) about wearing these items out. Your
only recourse is to 'ulp' replace the carb's.
