Default Lars paper:Jet % change chart?????

Where the jet% change chart?

Went through the article 10 times and the following paragraph makes no sense to me.......

I recommend making jet changes in less than 10% increments. Go to Figure 2 and determine your WOT metering area for your current jet size. This will be the metering area of the jet with the .026” rod. With this number, go to the Jet % Change Chart and find the closest metering area match in the left vertical Metering Area column (Use the “Area” column and not the Jet Size column. The Jet Size column can only be used on carbs that do not employ a metering rod, such as Holley and Weber.). Follow the row across until you get into the “green” zone and find the closest number to 10%, but not greater than 10%. Now go straight up until you get to the new metering area number. This is your target. Take this number and go back to Figure 2 and find the closest jet size that will produce this metering area with a .026” rod. This is the first jet size you want to try, and this will increase your fuel mixture by the percentage indicated in the chart.

You are missing the jet change chart. It is an Excel spreadsheet.
