    Can you buy drills in such tight increments? Don't know myself, but you've
    sparked some curiosity. Also, will a drilled finish be smooth enough, or
    will you have to chase it with a reamer?

    Aren't jets also contoured somewhat, rather than being a simple
    cylindrical hole drilled through a block? IOW, the hole in the
    middle is something like the hole in a donut, not a straight thru
    hole drilled through a piece of flat stock.

    I could certainly be wrong, but I seem to remember reading that
    this is why you couldn't get the exact flow characteristics of
    a larger factory made jet by simply drilling out smaller jet to
    the same sized hole.

    I've never seen this. Every main jet, idle jet, I've delt with are simple
    straight holes.
    If a jet is not available in the size needed then a numbered drill is used
    to enlarge the passage.
    There's no reason to have a venturi shape in a jet.

    You are correct on the main jet. Drilling such a main jet would be a bad
    idea.
