Some times the jets are very hard to read and sometimes just plain impossible. The size is either stamped or scribed in the very top or side. The stock come with anywhere from a 108 to a 114 size jet. Depending on the carb you will go anyewhere from a 122 to 125 jet. Most require a 125. The jetting will deffinately cause a bog especially around 1/3 throttle since at this point is where the main jet starts to come into play. The valves will also cause problems. If they have never been adjusted before than they could be too tight. This is common on new engines for when the valve seats fully seat themselves in the head during the breakin process the lash becomes too tight. But usually this also effects idle as well. You should still check that the lash is .003" on intake and .005" on exhaust.If you give me a call I will need the year of your buggy as well as some measurements of the strut. Some of the early carters used the same strut as most other buggies using this suspension type.It all depends on the year and if it were made in the Hammerhead factory . Tom
