Re:carb needle 3 Years, 4 Months ago  
Just read your post here. Confused ??? This is how mine is set up:

From the FAT end of the needle:
Spring
White Spacer
Clip
Washer

Is this right?
Is this why i can't seem to dial this in? <br><br>Post edited by: tamaule, at: 2005/07/07 09:36

That picture is great!

From the fat end going toward the tip (your backwards):

spring
washer
clip
white spacer
washer

Thats why you are having trouble dialing it in. If you don't have another washer, you can leave the one in between the clip and the spring out, it has no effect on jetting. Everything on the oposite side of the clip from the spring does.
