Question:
what does the size number actually refer to on a Dellorto SHA jet?
100ths mm? 1000ths inch?, gauge?
Dellorto SHA Jet Measurement?

Interesting question.
The only thing for sure is that the bigger the number, the bigger the hole in the jet.

"a 100 jet has a 1mm dia hole in it"
That would make sense as Dellorto are metric. It could make drilling out jets with metric bits close to shop-bought jets.

The various carb manufacturers can set up any system they want.
Some old Amal carbs had the jets measured in oz of gas in x numbers of minutes with a standing head. Say for instance if you had a standing head of fluid at 1 ft above the jet and then when you let the fluid through and you got 35 oz in 5 minutes then they could call it a size 35.
I like the actual measurement system better.
