different manufacturers use different methods of measuring their jets.

to approach the sizing logically I suggest purchasing a set of micro drill bits and using them to select a jet on the basis of relative bore size.

Don't take the size as gospel with cheap drill bits but treat the sizing as a great way of sizing relatively.(ie is one jet bigger than another...)

Here's a typical set of micro bits...

If the drill bits get mixed up or are hard to read then use a micrometer to measure the drill bit diameter.

-but remember certain race series require specific jets and emulsion tubes so read up on any rules if racing.
