wetjet 46sbn primer fittings different than sbn44's?

the hole for the choke shaft is slightly bigger on the 46 i picked up. i don't think they make bigger plugs for the mikuni just looks like a one size fits all type deal. so how do i make this work? is it a special size?

use some jb weld. that will take care of it.

Yup, just JB weld it, or even a little epoxy if you don't have JB weld. Just make sure you don't weld up the hole in the spigot.

didn't know it had to be that ghetto but that will work. thanks

Yep. Just JB weld it in there. I started to ask the same question this weekend. Just put some tape on the inside of the holes to keep it from running in there. I used the quick set kind.

ok next question since i have some of your attention. what did you use to bore the holes? i tried my dremel with a chain saw sharpening bit and it did not work too good. i figure cause its made for steel rather than aluminum.

Bore the holes??? I just took the choke plate out, and put the primer fitting in.

sorry i meant for the 46 wet jet to fit on the intake manifold.

I didn't have to do that to mine. A friend had a wetjet intake he was thinking about putting on his wifes waveraider. Gave it to me since the holes didn't line up with the stock carb.

I was gonna just clamp a 44mm to the bottom of it, and use the holes as a guide to drill them out. A dremel should work. Just make sure you keep it centered.
