German term

Umbedüsung/Umdüsung

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Motorbikes
Ein bisschen zu mager, dies wurde mit einer Umdüsung korrigiert.

This text was written by a Swiss-German speaker and while I can find the term on the web I have no idea how to express it in English. It's about a racing bike where the fact that the mixture was "lean" was corrected by "Umdüsung". Any ideas?

rejetting

At least in NA English, the orifices that regulate the amount of fuel supplied by a carburetor are called jets, and replacing a jet or set of jets with a different size (typicall with motorcycles, which often have a separate carburetor for each cylinder) is called rejetting.

refitting (of) nozzles

Germans like to make nouns out of verbs. "Renozzling" would sound funny in English.
