Charles,
I have managed successfully to convert an MV40 base into an MOV 40 base by silver soldering on a larger lump at the jet carrier boss, and drilling/tapping out to the MOV jet carrier size (think it’s 11mm metric fine). As you say not possible without this type of drastic surgery, but it has proved 100% worthwhile. The problem I had with the MV is that the fuel surged back down the main fuel feed drilling into the float chamber during hard breaking and effectively starved the jet of any fuel, cutting the engine out. I will
Post some photos for anyone that it interested when I get a chance.
Best,
Nick
