How to properly drill carb jets?

Used to be SOP was to drill jets since aftermarket stuff had not been invented.

I can't imagine Gartlis, Mickey Thompson, The Summers Bros. and thousands of others waiting for Jegs and Summit to be available so they could get their carbs.

Like YR said...do what you have to do.
Wax works great as a lube. You are metering fuel in a carburetor not a main rocket engine booster. You have multiple unused jets so go at it IMO.
