Would it be possible to explain the part where it depends on the muffler?

Yes.. 2 end of the hose, closed down mufflers make the venturi "act" smaller, so open mufflers make the venturi "act" larger, example is a stock os FP 35 40 muffler, it has a tiny outlet hole, so did the stock OS 35S muffler, , they both worked bettter with a huge 300 venturi, but the real FIX was to open them up and run a more normal size venturi, like a .275 to .285.

I assume the dimensions are in inch size. I have a Super Tigre G 21 46 I purchased new circa 1980. It was originally an RC engine. The owner of the hobby shop called Bluff City Hobbies in Memphis TN removed the carb, deducted the price, and installed a venturi, adding that cost. But I have no idea what size it is or that they made different sized. Do these numbers work for my motor? I was thinking of using drill bits to measure mine.

Yes, the measurements are in inches. If the venturi is a stock unit, which were aluminum, a true venturi, and they have a little step at the bottom of the bore, you might want to try it like that. The listing shows the dimensions for that type of venturi first. If it has the spray bar going through the venturi, that is a restrictor type and use the second set of dimension for the ST.46. Use the shank of drill bit to gauge the size of the hole and then measure the shank. The edges of the flutes on a drill bit are what sizes the drill and the shanks are a bit smaller. I just don't like to stuff the sharp edges down the bore.
Type at you later,
