I used the A12 recommended sizes, but slightly different as I didn't have all of the ones i needed.

Overall It's pretty good. I wish the dieseling when i turn it off would go away ;P

The Idle is much more managable and the mixture is much better.

I don't have the exact jetting #'s I used, since i was given 1 wrong jet and didn't have the 2 main jets ( i think )

I'm going to find a diagram of the carb with labels as to what the parts are called, because I've seen many names and it makes things needlessly confusing...

I'll most more soon...

dieseling ... make sure the idle is low, like 600 rpm. That usually solves it, but not always.

So did anyone find the correct jet sizes for an a15? Or should i just ask for the ones listed under the tech section for a a12?

There isn't any listing for a correct setup. The A12 jets are better than the ones the carb came with.
I got it more or less setup to the point that the car doesn't diesel when shut off. It was running hot this afternoon, but I think it's the oil pump going bad causing that.

unless your carb was jetted for a very big motor, it should be drivable with minimal adjustment.

I kinda miss the old jetting mine had, maybe I'll mess with it some more and see what happens.

OK. now Im confused. I have bought a 32/36 carb and ordered an adaption plate from Az which took 7 weeks to get here. Under the tech section it has:Air Correction: 175/145
Fuel: 120/145
Emulsion Tube: F66/F66
Choke Tube: 3.5/4.5
Idle: 50/55
for an a12 using a 32/36. So are these the right ones for a a15?

It's a good starting point. Because the a15 will pull more air than an a12, it may run a little rich. either way, start off with theese jets, and use some trial and error. Yhe alterative is give a bunch of money to someone with a dyno. and get them to set it up. Even if you have to buy three or four sets of jets, thats still cheaper that gettind a pro to do it.
