Good info Erbman02....but, why no half step on the needle?


The way the needle is kept in place, if you use an extra washer for a half step, that piece will possible bend, then if you take the washer out, you will have slop in the needle, so you would need to remove the carb, take that piece out, bend it back to original shape and re-install. Not worth the effort. This needle is held rigid in place, not like the stock carb where the spring and cap hold the needle in place. On top of that the options of different needles will get you where you need to be. As I've said before, forget how you learned to tune the stock carb, this is a much better carb to tune, and has a few options in tuning that cannot be done on the stock carb.
