#5592 Topher (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Carb Question 2 Years, 8 Months ago   While installing the needle from my jet kit, I noticed that the slightly elevated small opening the tapered end of the needle goes into had a section missing out of it. That missing section facing slightly turned to the left of center if looking straight into the carb once the air filter and housing is removed. Is this normal? A little worried!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #5596 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11027 Re:Carb Question 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Don't remember that one. I have to take my filter off to oil it. I'll give it a look-see.

Apparently so fuel can swirl from the jet up around the needle and mix with air before entering the intake.You can only see this if you look straight down through the opening where the slide plate and needle seat into. Have you heard of this?

Air tends to move smoothly around a cylinder so if it is interrupted then it will cause turbulence. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Didn't get a chance to check mine out. Watching Ottawa vs Buffalo. Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
