Wizard/Simmons carburetor jets

Post by Scott_Conger » Fri Oct 28, 2022 1:28 pm

I am trying to gauge interest for new Wizard/Simmons jets. Many folks believe that they are the same as the jet found in NH's, but they are NOT, and substituting an NH jet into a Wizard/Simmons, will not give the designed performance.

I am open to opinions as to the need for them...please feel free to email me
Thank you.

Scott, while that would be a worthwhile endeavor, maybe what is more needed would the needle itself and maybe the flapper.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Scott, what did you decide about making parts for the Wizard/Simmons carbs in addition to the float valves?

Hi Shannon

I have drawings of the parts but no plans to reproduce anything at this time. Interest was non-existent and I have enough projects for things people want than to spend time on things they generally do not want.

thanks for asking, though

Isnt the difference in the length & possibly a larger jet hole?
Couldnt one be made by un-soldering a NH jet, shortening & re-soldering?
Been a while since I looked @ the pieces I have from a few disassembled units.
I recall The needle is a bit shorter than a NH also, so a modification can be made.
The only tough part is the flapper if one is needed.
