jet in carb missing....what are the effects?

[volkswalker]

when you look down the right hand side carb the two small brass jets that
fire the fuel down into the carb.....one of the brass jets is missing....
but the car runs great and goes like hell.... wanting to drive to action next weekend
and didnt weant to start delving etc in case i f##k something up...
i do have a spare carb with the jets so i could replace one of the brass jets??

should i just leave it 4 now and go 4 it after action.....?
undecided....

The twin carbs work well with their balance pipe - even with one carb not doing anything, as long as you're not trying to keep it idling. If it's the accelerator pump nozzle, acceleration and pick-up might be a bit sluggish. Look down in there and work the accelerator. There's the main jet outlet, but that's part of the casting I think. If there's another nozzle it may just be an overflow (I can't get to the carb book to check). I've not had problems with either. I think it's the accelerator pump nozzle that most often gets lost - it can go through the engine without causing problems, though I remember hearing of one that got stuck.
