Metering Jets .098

The Edelbrock Metering Jets .098 (part number 1427) are precision carburetor jets engineered for fuel delivery calibration in Edelbrock carburetors. These brass metering jets control the air-fuel mixture during steady-state cruising and part-throttle operation, directly influencing engine response, fuel economy, and overall drivability. Supplied as a pair, these .098-inch ID jets are essential components for carburetor tuning and restoration work on classic and performance engines.

Metering jets function as restrictive orifices within the main fuel circuit, metering fuel flow based on their internal diameter. The .098-inch specification delivers a specific fuel volume that matches particular engine displacement, intake design, and jetting requirements. Brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance and machinability, critical for long-term carburetor function. Proper jet selection ensures the fuel system delivers the correct mixture ratio without running lean (which causes hesitation and detonation) or rich (which increases fuel consumption and emissions). Technicians working on Edelbrock carburetor rebuilds or performance tuning rely on factory-correct jet specifications to restore baseline performance before further calibration.

These metering jets are intended for carburetor technicians, engine builders, and restoration enthusiasts working with Edelbrock equipment. Whether rebuilding a carburetor after storage, replacing damaged jets, or establishing a baseline tune on a modified engine, the correct metering jet size is the starting point for all fuel system diagnostics and optimization. Edelbrock's manufacturing standards ensure that replacement jets maintain the precision dimensions required for consistent performance across the carburetor lineup.

Metering jet sizing is not interchangeable across different carburetor designs or displacement ranges. Selecting the correct jet diameter for your specific carburetor model and engine application is critical to avoiding running problems. The .098-inch size is designated for particular Edelbrock carburetors; verify your carburetor's original specifications or consult tuning documentation before purchasing.
