Metering block for carburetors

Abstract

A metering block having at least one removable jet cartridge is provided for replacing the physical and functional operation of the standard metering block for use with the carburetor and fuel bowl of a conventional internal combustion engine. The metering block has openings in the top of the block at an angle from vertical for receiving the jet cartridges. The jet cartridge is configured to utilize the standard fuel jets used with the standard metering block to maintain the same fuel metering characteristics as the standard metering block. The jet cartridge is positioned at an angle within the metering block to allow the jet cartridge and fuel jet to be removed and replaced from the carburetor without the need to remove the fuel bowl or metering block from the carburetor or fuel to be drained to obtain access to the fuel jet as is the case in the standard metering block design.
