Carb Needle

Post by IgorVigor »

Hello.

Just trying to work out what mods have been done to my bike.

What shape is the standard needle in the carb?

is it just a slight taper to the point?

because the needles in my carb taper down gradually, and then around 10mm from the tip, they step in and then taper to the point...

didnt know if its an aftermarket needle or not?

thanks in advance...

Igor.

if its a dynojet needle it will have a circlip on the notches at the top.
the standard storm needle has no notches, just a shim underneath.

look in the pdf manual in the workshop for the needle, pilot & main jet sizes
