    carb needle postioning question

    So I just put my new muzzy exhaust system on (thanks to this place and craigslist). I'm running 144 main jet's front and rear, which is working out OK, but I feel I could be getting more. Obviously larger mains would do something, but what about re-positioning the needles up one notch? The Dyno-jet kit I have (stage 2) says to run the middle position, and If I need a richer needle, to contact them. What does changing needle placement accomplish vs. increasing jet size? I fairly new to carb tinkering still, and haven't done any damage... yet.

    This gave me a good visual when I was trying to understand the basics of jetting.

    I'm sure someone here will be able to provide greater knowledge, but I hope this helps!
