Yup, you can change the squirters........very easy to do as well. Make sure your flaots are adjusted to the right level cuz if it's getting more fuel then it should, that could cause your problem.
i was lookin for some to order all i can find are the squirters in .025. where do u guys buy bigger squirters from. i was lookin on jegs site.
never mind i found some on summit
 
If you look at your accelertaor pump nozel there is a screw in the top of it. Actually both of them if your running a DP. Anyways take the screw loose and with a pair of pliers grab the suirter and lift STRAIGHT UP. There is a little paper or aluminum gasket underneith it that has to be there when you go back togther. So once you get it out it should say on the side what size it is, bigger the number the more shot you get. For easy reinstilation take a very small amount of silocone on the bottom of the squirter and put that little gasket back on. It makes it easier for getting squirter back into place and not loosing the gasket. Beware there is also a gasket on the screw be sure to to not loose it, unless you have more. When you buy new squirters they generally come with new gaskets.
