So one of the problems with messing with the carb jet sizes is that you can?t really match it by carb p/n. The engine and prop combo determine the proper carb p/ n. If you have a constant speed prop vs a fixed pitch, it can change the jet requirements. When you drill or ream out a jet, you fix your problem, but create a new carb configuration, that you can?t buy or possibly get overhauled without what you get back being different. There are several p/ns of carbs that are the same except for jetting.
That said, total fuel flow can be used to see if the jetting is off.
