I have been trying to find a set of small gages to measure small holes in jets of carburetors,
something on the order of .01 to about .15 any suggestions or what is the proper name of such
gages?

Use standard taper pins. Enter the pin into the hole. Mic the
diameter at where it stops or mic the large end diameter and
calculate the entry diameter from the taper distance
- 1/4" per foot for imperial taper pins, 1 in 50 for metric pins.

Use an appropriately sized sewing needle, one that will enter the hole
for some distance but not slip through the hole.

Coat this needle with marking blue, marking pen, or soot from a match
or candle.

Gently place the needle into the hole as far as it will go and give
the needle a turn or two.

Withdraw needle from hole.

A bright circle will be visible where the marking ink/soot was wiped
off by the hole wall.

Use micrometer to measure the diameter of the needle at the bright
circle.

Those are called "pin guages"...and in your case.."micro pin gauges"

You need .01-.15? How much do you want to spend?

If you really want accurate measurements for what you are doing you will
set up some test equipment. Take a plastic jug with the bottom cut off
and a fitting you can screw the jets into in the cap. Then fill with
water and time how long it takes to run out thru the jet. If you have
time measurements for .01" and .015" you should be able to determine
with reasonable accuracy any jet size in that range since the time to
drain a known amount of water will be linear with the size hole.

or this company
http://www.reidsupply.com/GrpResults...&apid=10023077

That is a huge range 15x for Pin Gages.

Here is one company of many - but you can see the number of pins and ranges.

I'd pick real numbers and see what fits in several sets.

If they're old US made carbs, they're going to have been drilled with
number drills. You can use those shanks for gauging, if you get a
good US-made set. Use the other ends with a pin vise if you want to
enlarge. If you want an inspection set, you get pin gauges, the
smallest dia. set is fairly reasonable from most places. See Enco,
McMaster, MSC, etc.
