Metering rods are a critical tuning component that work with metering jets to regulate fuel delivery based on throttle position and engine demand. The stepped design features a thicker upper section (.070") that restricts fuel flow at idle and cruise, and a thinner lower section (.037") that allows increased fuel flow under acceleration when the rods are lifted by the piston assembly. Proper metering rod selection is essential for achieving optimal performance, fuel economy, and drivability.
