Lot of things I'm thankful for in life and especially this forum with knowledgeable people. So many posts on carbs and I'm still unsure what to ask for. I have a RV6A, o320, 150 hp with a MA4SP 10-5009 carb. It runs way to lean, occasionally stumbles and runs hot. I spoke to Lycon, they can convert mine to a 5009N with the pepperbox. Is the pepperbox jet configured to .106 diameter or is it just stock for all?? If you had a choice, what carb would you use on a 150hp RV6a? Your response is greatly appreciated. I had an A&P remove my 5009, take it apart , put it back on and said it is the right jet for that carb. $250 I'll never see again...

Ok thank you Mike. I kept reposting thinking it disappeared to cyber blackhole. :)

Nope, just moved.

I try to put things where they can be found by someone who thinks "well, there was something about XXXX on VAF a few months ago" ---- where would they find it?
 
I had a similar situation and shipped the carb back to the factory. Don’t remember the details but there’s more to it than just the jet diameter.
