MXonaKawi:
P.S. The jetting on my bike is probably a bit off. However thanks to some great advice by KevinTwoStroke at the track, the 101 octane I tried last week changed the game for me. The bike runs 10x better and there is no bog off the bottom.

ecdeyzel:
Thanks MXonaKawi! Yea, it's going pretty slow, but I am making sure I am doing everything right and as far as my wallet allows me to go each month. That is a good idea. Have done the freezer trick before on another project and worked nicely, but will also look into the torch. Thanks! Octane? Haha, I know nothing about that, but will see when I get the bike up and running. So your baby is going sweet? You should update your thread with some pics! Need to see the final fruits of your labor. :lol:

Hey guys. I need more help on this carb needle business. I am struggling to find anything close to what Fox and Sandblaster suggested without many headaches. I have a good friend in the UK that can get me something on that side. He found this...but I have no idea if it will work or not. Any thoughts?

I can't say it will work...I can't even say I'd advise it....

if you still have your old bent one, measure the length, and be as precise as you can....then see if you can find out the length of that new one. If they're the same length, that's a plus...
then you would need to measure the diameter in 3 spots...top-middle-bottom....they would have to match nearly exact to the bent one you have.

If I myself were to try it, I would set the clip in the 2nd groove from the bottom to start....but again, I don't advise it.

Try giving these guys a shout...

I've been using them for a few years now, and they're really good people deal with.
Tell them your situation, and they may have you send them your bent needle to match up with one of theirs.

ecdeyzel:
Ok thanks Fox. I would rather not even go there then.

Could you send me a PM with your email address, I want to ask you something. Not sure if you can receive PMs, have tried sending you one.
