EMPI 122.5 Main Jet — EMPI 40K / Kadron / Brosol / Solex Carburetors (Porsche 914 1970–1976, 43-5122-7)
Short answer: The EMPI 43-5122-7 is a genuine EMPI 122.5 precision-drilled brass main jet for EMPI 40K, Kadron, Brosol and Solex carburetors on the 1970–1976 Porsche 914. It meters fuel from cruise through wide-open throttle and is used to fine-tune the mixture. It is one fine step richer than a 120 and the next move when a plug read or wideband shows the main circuit a touch lean at wide-open throttle.

Why It Matters
The main jet is the carburetor's standing decision about how much fuel to pour from cruise to wide-open throttle; choose wrong and the engine either gasps lean or wallows rich. A lean main circuit shows up as a flat top end and pale plugs.
