You're right the Speedstar needle is a bit fatter that the other aftermarket ones. That's probably why Yammi recommends the 50.

I'd try the tried and true start settings ...

170 main
35 pilot
clip on 5th groove
PMS about 2.5 - 3

Then do the WOT test to get the main dialed in.

After that raise the clip to 4 and test out.

Dang it!

Doc's right. Leave the needle on the 5th for the WOT. Thanks for catching my mistake Doc

Can someone tell me the how the spacers and the washers go on the needle? I think the guy might have had it in there wrong. Thanks, db

Thanks Muskie,

Yup, It was put in wrong. From the blunt end - washer, spacer, washer, clip, and under the clip, was the little spring that fits on the plastic O- ring jobbie. It was slipped on from the pointed end. I will try to fix that tomorrow.

Yikes! And it ran? Like Musky said, no wonder it wasn't running well...
