I was sitting at my desk today looking at my Space Bug Jr. I just happened to gaze at it's version of a pick up tube and wondered what would happen if it were to be bored out. Does the size of the pick up tube change performance?

Good question - I wonder if it would have the same effects of enlarging the venturi.....

I'd just trust LeRoy's judgement and leave the engine alone. There would be little to be gained by "messing" with it.

I never had any intention to (As You Say) "mess" with my ONLY Space Bug Jr. If I ever get a second one (which I will someday) I will attempt to experiment with it. Why not? Just because they are old does not exempt them from being hopefully improved.

I believe it would reduce the suction and therefore fuel draw.
If you want more fuel to go in run it richer you will get the same effect.

That is what I thought it would be like. It was the only result I could think up.

You would have far more luck enlarging the venturi but on a space bug please do not!

Nah. The venturi on the Space Bug is already pretty large. I do not think it could change much.
