I have turned down the nut on the model A idle jet to remove the nut completely . I then shorten the tube to proper length and use it make the power jet for the model B carburetors . Many times the power jet will get broken off from the model B carburetor . The model A idle jet is the correct diameter for this use . Model A idle jets are way less expensive than model B power jets . . I have found a method of turning the nuts down and off with my bench grinder . Some may have difficulty with this so its not for everyone . Just a thought of what has worked for me .
