Just a quick question...

I need to bore the stock carb spacer block to match an 11mm carb. The hole is 1/2". 11mm is about 9/16". I don't have a 9/16" drill. Can I bore the block bigger, say 5'8"?

Thanks for replies.

I try to make the holes the same size.

I enlarged the hole in several carb blocks by chucking a drill in the drill press and turning the chuck by hand while feeding the table up by hand. The material is soft and cuts easily. After the hole was to size I then put a Dremel bit in the chuck and powered up the drill press. The block was maneuvered by hand for the Dremel tool cutting.
