Before the petrol actually arrives at the jet, it passes around the pulverizer. The pulveriser consists of a piece of brass .275" dia. and .325" long. with a coarse spiral thread cut with a double start (6ths.ins.) and is a good fit in the jet body so the petrol must pass around it.

The jet size is .015".
