am curious if anyone has tried the Dial a jet, instead of changing the jets.. am curious if it really does work. i see it only adds fuel so ya have to be lean to start with or it won't work.. anyway just curious thanks

Hi Happy, welcome to the dawg forum. I've never used those jets but they seem to have some fans. We've got some mechanical types around here who may know more.

Oh man, that seems like a cool thing. The concept seems to be, instead of sending liquid fuel through the conventional passageway and atomizing it inside the venturi, the idea is recirculate it through an apparatus that mists fuel into the outer portion of the carb where the airflow is theoretically greater. You can then have easier access to be able to swap the nozzle or jet without taking the carb apart. It makes the carb work more like a throttle body.

I'm going to buy one of these and do a review for the Dawgies. Looks like a good idea and it has been around long enough to get some real use.

Is this additive to the gas already provided or does it take the place of the mainjet?

It is additive... you are supposed to drop down a couple sizes on the main jet. The device claims to only work when the engine is running lean. I have a hard time believing it can detect a lean condition but it probably adds fuel based upon air velocity & vacuum in the carb. It seems to work at everything above idle and progressively more as RPMs build. That would jive with air velocity being the main method of meetering.
I'd look at it as a extra main jet that has the advantage of releasing the fuel into the center of the airflow and has some adjustability features that make it attractive. It won't stop the need for proper jetting but will allow some fine tuning once proper jetting is achieved.

I as I understand the product, it is a kind of extra jet added to the outflow of the carb that makes a finer particle size of the fuel than the standard jets within the carb do.
The extra jet makes up for the leaner set of internal jets and the finer particle size makes the fuel burn better this might make it more explosive thus increasing the power output.
If you have a fatory air filter with a factory set of jets, if this product delivers as claimed you might find that by putting a foam filter on this thing may replace the need for rejetting.
I didn't see any mention of a need for a fuel additive. At claim was made about the fule being "emulsified" but this was done mechanically by the the jet itself.

I dunno.
Am I wrong in thinking that this statement is incorrect? Less fuel means less energy available which means that less work is done, no?
Also, it looks like you need to drill a hole in the carb to install the thing?

I think the logic is better atomization creates a better burn, therefore less fuel, atomized better, could create more HP.

It is only useful for factory standard settings since they are generally set to lean. It saves you from having to rejet everytime you mod an air filter or pipe. It smoothes out the power band from low to high by monitoring and adding fuel as needed. The only thing I am not sure of is how to install. I have heard that the float screw that comes with it doesn't fit all carbs, and I am not sure how to insert the main needle. It appears you may have to drill the carb throat which is iffy. On some Keihin carbs the tightening band for the air intake covers the entire throat so you have to drill the body.
Has anyone got the install instructions for this product?

It looks like you can either mount it through the carb or on the manafold boot. I'd say much of the information is marketing related. Don't take all of it too seriously. The companies that make carbs have a LOT more experience and real R&D into fuel delivery than does some aftermarket company. Not to say that the device may not be useful but I wouldn't expect it to be the wonder device that their marketing material suggest.
