Hi,
You do not say if the kits are copies or Honda.I have seen lots on other forums that the copies the needle jets are not the same and can have running problems just as I have.I always thought that the clip goes on the middle ring but alot put it back as they found it.I will soon be fitting new Honda needles and will let all know if it fixed my problem and if so what my problem was with these after market kits.
Good Luck

Middle slot should be fine Amos

Thanks for the replies  Ill fit them in the middle and see how they go although if I find them all at the top etc ill give that a go,they are copies and not from Honda but hope they will be OK if not ill just refit the old needles etc. back and see how I go

Thanks again

started stripping the carbs the main jet on the old carb part seems to be stamped with 105 and the new one has 110 on it does this make a big difference the needle was set in the middle so I fitted the new needle in the same place

Any ideas

Thanks Amos
