    Needle straight and Pilot Jet relationship

    I would like to know the relationship between different needle straight diameters and PJ's. For example to get a certain fuel mix from idle to 1/4 throttle, with DVT needle and 45 PJ you would need a ? PJ with a DVR needle and ? PJ with a DVQ needle. Any ideas? Thanks, Roland
