Hi Paul.

I had "heard" from a lister that the 182A and 182B jets are different
sizes. I hope I didn't misunderstand this (thus mislead anyone), to
mean the parts are NOT interchangable. Upon re-reading the email, I
realize I may have misunderstood as the actual OD of this brass part,
may fit either combustion chamber. IIRC, the actual length may be
different. Regardless.....

He pointed me to Bus Boys, which I didn't research until just now. (I
had solved my problem) He also said that there are two different sized
orifices (little hole) for brass jet:

Scroll down to the "c" section. You'll see it in bold.

Maybe this is the answer?

Neil.
